Malaysia: 1. What is ETA? 2. Do these "Islamic" laws apply in Malaysia by force of parliament, or some other way (such as if married to a Muslim woman)? 3. Do Muslim groups in Malaysia act in "an outrageous and borderline illegal manner"? 4. Do the authorities protect people from forced conversion to Islam as a consequence of a relationship with a Muslim partner?

Malaysia: 1. Can you please provide advice on the Sharia Law in the State of Pahang in relation to the question of custody of children in circumstances where the parents divorce, and whether in fact formal custody arrangements will normally be made? 2. Furthermore, can you please source material on the issue of access by a non-custodial parent where that parent is a non-practising Muslim? 3. From the sources consulted it seems that the matter of abandoning Islam is problematic and again is covered by state Shariah law. Can you provide advice on this and the issue of reversion to a non-Muslim name in such circumstances?
