"The Islamic authorities in Malaysia are in dispute with the Hindu family of a man who committed suicide - with both sides claiming the body for burial.
The 34-year-old man, Elangesvaran, hanged himself on Sunday.
His Hindu family have been prevented from collecting his body from the hospital.
They say the Islamic religious department informed them that Mr Elangesvaran had converted to Islam without their knowledge and therefore must now be given a Muslim burial.
But the family says the conversion certificate is just a letter with some scribbling on it that is allegedly by Mr Elangesvaran but could be anything because there is no signature or thumbprint and no witnesses."
Read the entire report here.
So again, in Bolehland, the religious authorities don't give two hoots about you when you are alive but when you are dead and your soul no longer is around, they fight over your body!
It's bad enough that Elanesvaran's family members have to deal with his death. It's bad enough that they have to come to terms that he took his own life. At this time of grief and sorrow, the religious authorities come and add to their woes.
Malaysia boleh!

As usual, the religious authorities are scared that if he was actually a Muslim, and buried according to with Hindu rites, they fear of getting sins for it. If they can't get anything concrete, just let it go lah! Haih.
This is really ridiculous. If they properly documented conversions, the problem wouldn't happen in the first place.
