Fairuz was born in a Muslim family and wanted to leave Islam. So he officially renounced the religion and was forced to attend counseling and psychotherapy sessions for 4 years. To complicate matters he has a Christian wife. Then he received an order from the shariah officers to put him in a detention center so he left for Sweden.
The Swedish authorities told him to convert back to Islam and return to Malaysia!
