In a bid to not upset it's Chinese and Christian partners, @anwaribrahim is keeping an elegant silence on the child conversions to Islam debate, sparking further rumors that the Muslim MPs in PR will vote in support of the bill.
Pakatan Rakyat leaders today declined to weigh in on controversial law on child conversions to Islam, saying they needed time to study the matter first.
Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the coalition will only issue a statement on the matter sometime next week, while his daughter and PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah revealed that a joint committee had been set up to study the law.
“We are looking at the Bill thoroughly and I have had a initial discussion with (PAS president) Datuk Seri Hadi Awang and also (Penang Chief Minister) Lim Guan Eng to get some understanding before we give a public response,” he told reporters in Parliament here.
“We have already set up a Pakatan committee to look into this and we will meet soon,” Nurul told pressmen in a separate press conference earlier.
