00:00We are the sisters in Islam
00:29Amat bersyukur dengan keputusan yang diberikan oleh Mahkamah Persekutuan pada pagi ini
00:34Alhamdulillah
00:35Selama hampir 11 tahun kami melalui proses untuk mendapat keadilan
00:42Dan akhirnya kita mendapat pengesahan bahawa sebuah organisasi kami mempunyai hak
00:50Yang dilindungi Perlembagaan Persekutuan untuk terus bersuara dan terus berjuang untuk hak perempuan
00:58Kerja yang kami lakukan adalah kerja yang diperlukan
01:03Kerja yang relevan kerana ia berkaitan dengan kehidupan perempuan seharian dalam keluarga
01:09Di zaman yang kian mencabar dan getir ini
01:11Dan kami akan teruskan dengan kerja yang kami telah mulakan hampir 40 tahun yang lepas
01:17I just want to make one comment here
01:27And this is really dealing with the people who keep saying that
01:33Sis work is melanggar Islam, mencabar Islam, insult to Islam
01:38We feel very strongly that in a country where Islam is used as a source of law, policy and daily practice
01:49All citizens, all of us who are affected in harmful and discriminatory ways
01:56Have the right to seek redress
01:58Those opposed to our work accuse us of challenging Islam
02:03What we are questioning is the way they use Islam to silence us
02:10And deny us our rights to be treated as human beings
02:14As citizens of equal worth, dignity and rights
02:18And just to be clear, the split view of the court is not so much that the fatwa cannot be challenged
02:33So majority said if the fatwa intersects with the constitutional guarantees or legal limits
02:40It can be challenged by judicial review
02:42Not on the content itself because that is for the Islamic courts
02:46But on whether or not the committee has acted in excess of powers and so on
02:53So that's how the majority said if you want to challenge you come to the high court
02:57And they've confirmed that today
02:59The minority view is not that it cannot be challenged
03:02Rather the minority view is that if you want to challenge it
03:06You challenge it in the sharia court
03:08So on both sides, the fatwa can be reviewed
03:12It is just which court that reviews it
03:14And that's where the split occurs
03:16I just wanted to make that clear
03:17So...
03:18So...
03:19So...
