Malaysian woman can leave Islam

However, "in many countries converts are treated just like those who are born into Islam - and are prohibited from changing their faith" so the local religious council may appeal against the ruling.
The question is, why should anyone be prohibited from changing religions?

Chelsea visit sparks Malaysia row
Malaysian Muslim groups are protesting English football club, Chelsea's visit to Malaysia because the coach and a player are Israeli and this will offend Malaysia's pro-Palestinian stance. The pre-season match is considered "insensitive" to the Palestinian people so Malaysians should boycott the match. A protest will be held outside the stadium.
