KUALA LUMPUR – The high court has thrown out an application by the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (Maips) that sought leave to be made a party to the divorce proceedings of Loh Siew Hong and her incarcerated ex-husband Nagashwaran Muniandy.
Judge Evrol Mariette Peters’ ruling on the matter effectively bars Maips from access to Loh’s three underage children, who were unilaterally converted to Islam by their father.
According to Malaysiakini, Peters noted that Maips had failed to prove that it is an interested party concerning the children’s well-being and that the religious body failed to seek the views of Nagashwaran in their attempt to modify Loh’s custody order over her children.
