PKR Sarawak chief Baru Bian has urged the statement government to amend the Majlis Islam Sarawak Ordinance to stop unilateral conversion of minors.

He said Section 69 of the 2001 Ordinance, which allows conversion to Islam of a minor "if... his parent or guardian consents to the conversion" must be changed to match proposed amendments to the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976.
