In February, the Federal Court ruled on an appeal against a decision of the Selangor High Court, and the Court of Appeal rejected Rosliza Ibrahim`s legal request to have her declared Buddhist and not Muslim. The Federal Court found that Rosliza, who was born to an unmarried Muslim man and a Buddhist woman, did not inherit the faith from her Muslim father because the Islamic Family Law enacted in Selangor in 2003 did not recognize her paternity because of her unmarried status. In October, individuals filed more than 5,000 complaints with police against Islamic preacher Syakir Nasoha, who made derogatory remarks about non-Muslims in a video posted on TikTok on October 1. In the one-minute clip, Nasoha said, “At the end of time, followers of non-Muslim religions will crawl together to kill Muslims.” The president of the local NGO Global Human Rights Federation, S. Shashi Kumar, said: “This is a deliberate attack on non-Muslims,” and called on the police to arrest Nasoha. It also demanded that the Minister of National Unity, Halimah Mohamed Sadique, immediately submit to Parliament a draft law on national harmony and reconciliation to combat racial discrimination and sectarianism in the country. In December, 60 multi-racial civil society groups submitted a memorandum to Kuala Lumpur police headquarters questioning the delay in Nasoha`s arrest and claiming that the police had taken no action.

In cases where the government refused to register a religious group, the group could apply to register as a private company. Some religious groups reported that registration as a business was generally relatively quick and provided a legal basis for conducting business, creating no restrictions on the group`s religious activities and allowing the organization to conduct certain activities such as keeping a bank account and owning property.
However, the registration did not give the organization tax-exempt or government funding status. Examples of religious groups that continued to be registered as businesses included Jehovah`s Witnesses and The Church of Jesus Christ. There is no legal requirement for non-Muslim religious groups to register, but to become recognized non-profit charities, all groups must register with the Government Corporations Registry (ROS) by submitting documents showing the organization`s leadership, purpose and rules, and paying a small fee. These organizations are required by law to submit annual reports to the ROS in order to remain registered. ROS can inspect registered organizations and investigate those suspected of being used for purposes that are “prejudicial to public peace, welfare, good order or morals.” You can`t decide lol.

In May, a magistrate ordered Lam Chang Nam`s trial to continue in December 2022 for allegedly extorting 30,000 ringgit ($7,200) from Koh`s family by providing information about Koh`s whereabouts. Prosecutors initially charged Lam with kidnapping Koh, but later withdrew the charges.

In May, the Supreme Court dismissed a defamation and sedition lawsuit filed by Christians Maklin Masiau and Lawrence Jomiji Kinsil Maximilhian against PAS Chairman Abdul Hadi Awang, who published an article in 2016 accusing Christian missionaries of exploiting poor and uneducated people in poor communities in states like Sabah by paying them to convert to Christianity.
In dismissing the case, Judge Akhtar Tahir called the trial “frivolous” and “an abuse of judicial process” and ordered the plaintiffs to pay 50,000 ringgit ($12,000) each to cover Hadi`s legal fees. The judge also said that Hadi`s comments in 2016 were only about Christian missionaries and not Christians in general, and that the plaintiffs should instead be held responsible for the inflammatory tendencies because they “revived it [Awang`s article] to make it a new problem.” Local human rights organizations and religious leaders reiterated concern that society was becoming less tolerant of religious diversity.
