High Court Judge Kamaludin Said today recused himself from presiding over the Sidang Injil Borneo (SIB) church's application to use the word "Allah" because he once served as senior federal counsel in a similar case.
Justice Kamaludin said he had previously served as senior federal counsel on a case involving the Titular Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur against the Home Ministry, Utusan Malaysia reported.
The case involved the Home Ministry's closure of Catholic newspaper The Herald for using the word "Allah" in its publication.
The current case involving SIB stems from the church's Sabah branch president Jerry Dusing's application 10 years ago to use the word "Allah" in SIB's publications.
