Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has been urged to prove his commitment in stopping unilateral child conversions in light of the Umno-led Perlis state's amendment to the contrary.

"I call on the prime minister and president of Umno to show his commitment to correct the wrong in allowing conversion of a minor child to Islam by one converted spouse acting unilaterally without the consent of the non-converted spouse," PKR's Selayang MP William Leong said in a statement today.
