received an email but i dont think its true..anyone know anything bout this?


KUANTAN, Friday) The Syariah Court today has today declared that the
> late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong was a Muslim more than 10 years ago when he
> passed away, in 2007. The Syariah Court also ruled that since no
> non-Muslim is allowed to inherit any part of a Muslim's assets or
> wealth, the inheritance of Lim's property by his non-Muslim children
> are invalid and unlawful.
>
> "Therefore, the assets should be immediately returned to Tan Sri Lim's
> name, and then redistributed to his Muslim heirs (if any) according to
> Syariah law. If he has no Muslim heir, then the assets shall be given
> to the Islamic authorities and they can do whatever they wish. The
> non-Muslim children are disinherited." The Syariah Courtruled.
>
> Dato' Zakaria Lim Abdullah, 35, the late Tan Sri Lim's only Muslim
> child and the 20th of his 20 offsprings, is now poised to become the
> Chairman of Genting Group, 1 of Southeast Asia's richest companies
> worth RM2 trillion as at press time. (He would have inherited only
> 1/20 of Tan Sri Lim's assets if Tan Sri Lim was not declared a
> Muslim.) However, he refused to confirm whether he would stop the
> gambling business of Genting even though it is haram under Islamic
> law.
>
> "Are you saying that our Hadhari government should refuse to collect
> taxes from gambling, alcohol, pork and other haram businesses?" Dato'
> Zakaria replied, perhaps rhetorically.
>
> Dato' Zakaria has also said that his shall honor his pledge to donate
> 1/10 of his newly inherited fortune to Jabatan Agama Islam Pahang and
> UMNO in equal share if he won the case, made 3 days before the Syariah
> Court decision.
>
>
> "Business Reasons"
>
> "My late father wanted to keep his conversion secret because he was a
> gambling tycoon, and he did not want to jeopardize his gambling empire
> or make his shareholders lose confidence in Genting," said Dato'
> Zakaria during the hearing in Syariah Court. The Syariah Court felt
> that "this is most likely true because of the huge business
> implications. It is very normal for Chinese to do this. We can accept
> that."
>
> As to the testimonies of Tan Sri Lim's 19 other offsprings in the
> Syariah Court, who unanimously disputed the alleged conversion, the
> Syariah Court said, "Even though it is 19 to 1, but because the
> non-Muslim witnesses refused to swear on the Qur'an before they
> testified in court, we could not consider their testimonies. In any
> event, even if they did swear on the Qur'an, the non-Muslims would
> still carry less weight when compared to the testimony of 2 Muslim
> men. It is not about the number, it is about quality of the
> witnesses."
>
> The other witness supporting Dato' Zakaria's claim to have witnessed
> Tan Sri Lim's conversion is Ustaz Abdul Rahman Ganinah Abdullah, 23
> year old. The Ustaz would have been only 13 year old at that time of
> the conversion, but the Syariah Court said that,"Being a righteous,
> God-fearing Muslim, we have no reason to suspect that the Ustaz told
> any lie. In any event, he has reached the age of puberty at the time
> (of the conversion) so he was qualified to witness the conversion."
>
>
> "Answer To God" It Depends
>
> The Syariah Court has also ruled that the overwhelming evidence of Tan
> Sri Lim drinking alcohol, praying to pagan idols, celebrating pagan
> religious festivals, eating pork and gambling in his own Genting
> Casino and generally behaving like a non-Muslim all his life until his
> death was irrelevant. "Once you have converted, you are a Muslim till
> you die, no matter what you did before your death. You will answer to
> God for all your sins."
>
> However, on the same kind of "answer to God" argument made by the
> non-Muslim children that:"By the same logic, the Deceased himself
> should answer to God for concealing his alleged 'conversion' from his
> family and resulting in him not being buried as a Muslim and his
> assets distributed among his non-Muslim children; it's not up to the
> Islamic Authority to insist on his assets being inherited under
> Islamic law if he, KNOWING THAT HIS ASSETS WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED LIKE
> AN INFIDEL (AND HE MIGHT BURN IN HELL), still didn't want to tell his
> family to bury him as a Muslim and distribute his assets like a
> Muslim."
>
> The Syariah Court said "you cannot say he must answer to God for

> Authority and Syariah Court. If we say he has to answer to us, then he
> has to. When it comes to God's law, logic has nothing to do with it.
> Why is it so difficult to understand?"
