KUCHING: Sarawak will amend its syariah laws to ensure that converts will not “be left hanging” when they renounce Islam, says Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.

He said the amendments will include a standard operating procedure (SOP) of what needs to be done when a convert decides to leave Islam.
