KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 12 — Tengku Yasmin Nastasha Tengku Abdul Rahman said that her mother Nik Elin Zurina Nik Abdul Rashid began getting death threats and getting labelled as ‘takfir’ (blasphemous) after lawyers from a certain political party that she did not name, made the constitutional challenge viral on social media.
Yasmin divulged that although the Federal Court ruled in their favour by nullifying 16 out of the 18 provisions that she and her mother challenged, she has had trouble sleeping and eating.
“Going back six months ago when the case was first (made known) by lawyers affiliated with a certain political party, Mum and I have been constant recipients of death threats and takfirs from that crowd.
“For the last four days, I have not had enough sleep and can barely eat,” she said in her X post yesterday.
She said the countless attacks directed at them aimed at tarnishing their image and public perception of the truth behind the spirit of the legal challenge.
“Her (Nik Elin) past writings were egregiously manipulated, taken out of context to portray her as a ‘liberal.’ This deliberate mischaracterization, orchestrated to serve vested interests, exemplifies the depths to which our adversaries stooped to undermine our endeavour.
“The vitriolic campaign waged against us by adversaries manifested in baseless allegations, portraying us as threats to the sanctity of Islam in our nation,” she said.
Tengku Yasmin spelled out again that the petition only revolved around jurisdictional issues between the state legislative assembly and the federal government and had nothing to do with the position of Islam.
She also said that the case has nothing to do with the authority of the Malay Rulers despite attempts by certain parties to find a link.
On February 10, Nik Elin disclosed that she lodged three police reports over the countless death threats she had received for merely challenging the validity of laws enacted by Kelantan’s state government.
