'Voice of reason must prevail in Allah case'


The conflicting views over the use of the term "Allah" should be resolved amicably at the negotiation table, said Federal Court judge, Justice Zainun Ali.

Zainun, one of three judges who wrote dissenting judgments in the highly-charged case in the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur's appeal last month, also called for sanity and tolerance to prevail.

"Finally I really and sincerely take the position that in this case, the voice of reason should prevail and all parties must exercise restraint and uphold the tenets of their respective religious beliefs and display tolerance and graciousness to each other.

"All parties should stay calm and exist in peace and harmony in our beloved country. It is imperative that the goodwill that all races and religious denominations posses be brought to the negotiation table and the matter be resolved amicably," she wrote near the end of her 60-page judgment.

Zainun, who along with Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Justice Richard Malanjum, and another Federal Court judge Justice Jeffrey Tan Kok Wha had allowed permission to hear the Roman Catholic archbishop's appeal, was the solitary Muslim judge who allowed to hear the 28 questions posed.

Lawyers for the Archbishop had posed 28 questions that cover three areas namely administrative law, constitutional and general questions.

Justice Richard, along with Justice Zainun and Justice Tan, who wrote separate judgments, found merits in allowing the hearing of the appeal by the archbishop.
