Titular Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur v Menteri Dalam Negeri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Titular Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur v. Menteri Dalam Negeri (sometimes referred to as Malaysia v. The Herald) was a 2009 legal decision by the High Court of Malaya holding that Christians do not have the constitutional right to use the word "Allah" in church newspapers. An appeals court overturned a previous ruling which granted that right.[clarification needed] This verdict on appeal was later upheld by the Federal Court of Malaysia in 2014. However, the ruling was not followed by the High Court in another case in 2021.[1] The government lodged an appeal, but later withdrew it.[2]
