Developments of a person’s freedom to change their religion (Part 2: 1991–2007)

This is the second of a four-part series tracing how Malaysian law has treated a person's freedom to change their religion. It covers 1991 to 2007, when the statutes were silent, the High Court divided, and the Federal Court filled the silence by implying Syariah jurisdiction over leaving Islam. It ends with two Federal Court decisions from the same year, Lina Joy and Latifah bte Mat Zin, that point in different directions.
