Loh Siew Hong allowed to initiate committal proceedings over kids’ unilateral conversion

KUALA LUMPUR – The high court here today granted an ex-parte application for leave by single mother Loh Siew Hong to initiate committal proceedings against her ex-husband Muhammad Nagahswaran Muniandy, who has been accused of abducting their three children and registering them as Muslim converts without her consent.

Judge Evrol Mariette Peters allowed the application after hearing arguments by Gunamalar Joorindanjn, who was representing Loh as the petitioner.

Earlier, Gunamalar told the court that Muhammad Nagahswaran, the respondent, violated a court order when he abducted their three children – a pair of 14-year-old twin girls and a 10-year-old boy.

He said Muhammad Nagahswaran has known from the beginning that Loh had been given sole custody, care and control of their children, but they ended up being taken from the mother without her consent.
