Federal minister Jamil Khir Baharom’s view that a ban on unilateral conversion of minors is unconstitutional is so out of sync with constitutional theory as to be bizarre, said DAP MP for Ipoh Barat M Kulasegaran.

“He’s trying to make what is aberrant normative,” said Kulasegaran.

Jamil Khir had offered the view in Parliament, in response to Kulasegaran’s written question on when unilateral conversions of minors would be banned, that such a ban would be unconstitutional.
