Welfare Dept disobeying custody order giving Hindu mum full rights to kids, says lawyer

GEORGE TOWN, Feb 16 — Single mother Loh Siew Hong was legally entitled to take her children from the welfare department’s care using the court order granting her sole guardianship and full custody, care and control of them, said lawyer Rajashree Suppiah.

Rajashree, who had represented Loh back in 2019 when she filed for court order, said the mother was legally entitled to seek the assistance of the police to reclaim custody of her children.

“Nobody can prevent her from taking back her children under her custody, care and control as stipulated in the court order and if any party prevents her from doing so, they are disobeying the court order,” she said when contacted by Malay Mail today.


Loh could also seek assistance from a court bailiff to enforce the court order and return the children under her custody, care and control.

Rajashree said Loh was initially granted the first interim order in December 2019, which granted her full guardianship and sole custody, care and control of the three children who were now aged between 10 and 14.
