Parents have first rights and authority
over their offspring (at least till they are of age and able to look after
themselves) to bring them up in their faith and in keeping with their station
in life so that they may enjoy all the privileges of family and home life and
receive an education according to their means with all necessary provision made
for the future.
The Church, by virtue of the Authority
invested in her by Our Lord, has jurisdiction over all Catholics and will
always stand firm in upholding the Law of God and will never allow any
violation of human rights, whether of the family or the individual; and it is
the duty of the State to protect its citizens and their rights against the
assaults of sectional interests.

On 11 December 1950, the court threw out
the appeal in less than five minutes. This angered the crowd waiting outside.
They deemed it as the unfair treatment of the locals by the colonial
government. While the locals, especially the Muslims, accepted that legal
battle was the way to fight this custody case, they could not accept that the
colonial government sided with the Europeans. Throwing out the appeal in less
than five minutes was an obvious act of favoritism towards the Europeans.

Reunited after the war, Maria's parents
began seeking for their lost daughter in the late 1940s. They lodged a request
with Dutch officials to locate their daughter. Arthur Locke, the Administrative
Officer (East), was the first to alert authorities to Maria's whereabouts when
he spotted her at a school competition in Kemaman.

The riots highlighted the insensitive way
the media handled religious and racial issues in Singapore. The British
colonial authorities also failed to defuse an explosive situation when
emotional reports appeared in the local press of the custody battle accompanied
by sensational media photographs of a Muslim girl in a Catholic convent.
