Is the cabinet in control of government policy on the unilateral conversion of minors or are ‘little Napoleons’ in charge?

This query was posed by DAP national vice-chair M Kulasegaran in response to MIC president S Subramaniam’s reiteration of cabinet policy formulated in 2009 that disputes in civil marriages must be adjudicated in a civil court.

Health Minister Subramaniam announced yesterday that last Wednesday’s cabinet meeting rehashed the 2009 policy, thus indicating that there has been no change to the policy formulated when the issue of unilateral conversions of minor flared in the public domain that year.
