 Furthermore, although the Syariah Court ruled in favour of Wong's family, Honey Tan, a spokeswoman for civil society group Article 11, criticised the decision, stating that "the court has not provided just remedies to the grievances raised by the plaintiffs on constitutional grounds".Her case marked the beginning of a trend in which religious authorities would ask family members of deceased individuals who had allegedly converted away from Islam to go to the courts to obtain a ruling on whether the deceased was a Muslim or not.Later commentators attributed the favourable outcome to the family's attitude of co-operation with the court, contrasting the ruling with that given on Maniam Moorthy, a member of the first Malaysian team to scale Mount Everest.
