Nur Sajat ‘still a man’ here, says deputy minister
Nur Sajat posted on Instagram yesterday about her new legal status as a woman in Australia.
PUTRAJAYA: Nur Sajat is still considered a man under Malaysian law, deputy religious affairs minister Ahmad Marzuk Shaary said today.
He said in Malaysia, one’s gender is based on what is stated on their identity card (IC).
“The gender is what is stated on the IC (issued) in our country and that is what we use.
“The IC is a valid document in this country to determine Nur Sajat’s gender. Whichever country or place he chooses to determine his gender, we do not interfere,” he said to reporters after a book launch today.

Yesterday, the media reported that Nur Sajat shared an Instagram post on her new legal status as a woman in Australia.
Nur Sajat is being pursued by Malaysian authorities after an arrest warrant was issued for not attending court to face charges for dressing as a woman at the Shah Alam Shariah High Court.
In June last year, police sought Nur Sajat’s help in an investigation into a fraud case involving a change of identity card information.
On the High Court decision yesterday lifting the ban on the distribution of controversial book “Gay is OK! A Christian Perspective”, Marzuk said he hoped the home ministry would appeal the decision so that it does not outrage Muslims.
“LGBTs (the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community) and the book should not be an agenda to be normalised in our country, it is not suitable in Malaysia or around the world,” he said.
The media reported that the publisher and author of the book succeeded in their application to overturn the home minister’s order to ban the book in 2020.
High Court judge Noorin Badaruddin allowed a judicial review filed by the book’s publisher Chong Ton Sin and its author Ngeo Boon Lin, respectively yesterday.

I believe Nur would be showing this idiot of a deputy minister her middle finger for his shitbrained statement.
