25:18Now PlayingHarassed and placed under investigation by the religious authorities - activist Maryam Lee is a highly controversial figure in Malaysia. Her crime? Speaking out about her decision to stop wearing the hijab and criticising what she sees as institutional patriarchy in Islam. Ms Maryam, who was made to wear a headscarf from the age of nine, says she realised in her mid-20s that she was conforming to a social expectation rather than a religious requirement and decided to remove it. Malaysia's religious affairs minister expressed concern and she was hauled in for questioning under a law against insulting Islam - the country has a dual-track legal system, with Muslim citizens subject to sharia law in certain areas. "I was born a Muslim, I'm still a Muslim - I'm no less of a Muslim because I removed my hijab," she explains.
