Ex-headmaster lodges police report over apostasy claim

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 — A former school headmaster lodged a police report today over allegations made online that he had left Islam for Christianity.

Zainal Ratin Zainal Abidin, 67, who was accompanied by his son, Zainal Azam, lodged the report at Taman Tun Dr Ismail Police Station at around 2pm.

According to Bernama Online, Zainal Ratin said he first became aware of the claim when one of his children stumbled across a list of 430 Muslims who had allegedly converted to other religions while surfing the Internet.

“My name is on that list. This is, for me, a great slander because it involves me, my faith and my family’s honour,” he said.

Zainal Ratin has asked the authorities, including the police, to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter as it involved many Muslim individuals.
