the appeal by three Muslim converts and a Christian who was a Muslim
at birth to have their case heard by the civil court. The applicants
wanted their identity cards and official records to reflect that they are
now Christians.
2. ENGAGEMENTS
Due to the MCO, Sarawak Office was unable to maximise its offline
outreach strategy at the grassroots level, especially in remote areas, with
the public, NGOs and CSOs. Instead, the Sarawak Office had conducted
more outreach programmes (talks, lectures, training) online.
The objectives of the online programmes were as follows:
i. To build a productive networking relationship with CSOs;
ii. To provide a space for CSOs and committee members to express
their opinions and respond to relevant issues; and
iii. To increase the number of complaints received.
