I remember documenting one case of body snatching by the authorities but I know there are plenty more out there.
Now there's yet another one:
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A Sikh family lost a court battle Monday in Muslim-majority Malaysia for the right to cremate one of their relatives after officials said the man had converted to Islam years before his death.
The family of Mohan Singh has been fighting Islamic authorities for custody of his body after Mohan, 41, died of a heart attack on May 25.
Officials from the Islamic government department of central Selangor state insisted Mohan converted to Islam in 1992, but the family said he practiced the Sikh religion until his death.
God have mercy on us all.

With such oppression happening, how can we expect Malaysians to be united in life and later in adversity? Its just not possible.
Any decision in life should come with a reversal clause.People can and do make mistakes in anything and everything and thats an acceptable norm. We are humans after all..
What not apply the same rule to religious conversion?
Post humous oppression is a deadly game. And the game has just begun..
My dear,
Madness reigns in a supreme fashion - only in this land....
One wonders if they have truly lost their mind....

I can relate to these compulsive bodysnatchers, having done a fair bit of it in my youth.... only difference being I preferred my bodies warm (and still do).
Its never ending is it?
Double sigh...
