KOTA KINABALU: A woman is facing difficulty getting married because her religion is mistakenly stated as Islam in her identification card (IC) and is pleading for help from the government. “When I was 12 and applied for my IC, I realised that the word ‘Islam’ was stated in my IC, ” she said. “I have tried dealing with the NRD in Kudat, but was directed to the Jabatan Agama Islam in Kudat. There, I was informed that they did not have my records and hence was unable to issue a religious status verification for me, ” she said. “They then told me to go to the Sabah Islamic Religious Council office in Kota Kinabalu to obtain verification.
