Chinese Muslim preacher Firdaus Wong has taken down a TikTok video that allegedly offered advice on converting minors to Islam without parental knowledge.

According to local media reports, Wong’s legal counsel, Norazali Nordin, disclosed this development to the Kuala Lumpur High Court.

The video’s removal comes after eight non-Muslim parents secured an ex-parte injunction issued by Judge Amarjeet Singh on 3 October.

Wong’s actions have raised alarm among parents, particularly given that Malaysian law, specifically Article 12(4) of the Federal Constitution, prohibits the conversion of minors without parental consent.

The High Court has fixed 24 October for Wong’s lawyers to present arguments against the temporary order.
