Wong Ah Kiu
Wong Ah Kiu (1918 – 19 January 2006), legally known as Nyonya binti Tahir, was a Malaysian woman born to a Muslim family but raised Buddhist.〔; has picture of Wong.〕 The court case which arose after her death over whether she should receive an Islamic funeral or a Buddhist one brought up various issues regarding freedom of religion in Malaysia.
==Marriage and family==
Wong was born in Simpang Ampat, Malacca.〔 Of mixed Chinese and ethnic Malay descent, she was taken in by her grandmother, a Malay Muslim married to a Chinese of Hainan origin who had converted to Islam; however, she was later adopted by a Chinese family and raised as a Buddhist.〔〔 In 1936, Wong married Chiang Meng, a Chinese man sixteen years her senior; he did not convert to Islam, and Wong herself continued to practise Buddhism. According to her children, she adopted the Chinese way of life and ate pork. Her children were also raised as Chinese, and their ethnicity was recorded as such on their identity cards. However, her own identity card recorded her ethnicity as Malay. In 1986, she made an application to have her change of name and religion recorded on her own identity card; in response to this application, she was investigated by the Alor Gajah Islamic Affairs office, who issued a report on 7 May 1986 on the basis of which her application was denied.〔 Her husband died in 1989 at the age of 87; knowing that she would be unable to be buried next to him without legal recognition of her status as a Buddhist, she filed two further applications for recognition of her change of religion in 1991 and 1998; these too were rejected.〔 She left behind a written declaration that she was a Buddhist and wanted to be given a Buddhist rather than an Islamic funeral.〔〔; has picture of son Chiang Ah Fatt.〕
