The rakyat, particularly the non-Muslim society who were looking forward to resolve many issues pertaining to conversion and lopsided policies felt joyous about the recent decision.

His recent policies surely has potential to woo the confidence of the public towards his government .
Cabinet has made a ruling that a child must follow the religion practiced by the parents at the time of marriage in the event one of them opts to convert.

The cabinet felt that a conversion must not be used as a ground to automatically dissolve a marriage or to get custody of children.
