Court to decide Loh’s bid to quash unilateral conversion of kids on Aug 1

KUALA LUMPUR – Single mother Loh Siew Hong will find out in 10 weeks’ time if her judicial review application to quash the unilateral conversion of her three children to Islam by her ex-husband is allowed by the court. 

This is after the high court here fixed August 1 for the decision of her leave application, in a proceeding held via Zoom today. 
Loh’s lawyer Shamsher Singh Thind said the Attorney-General's Chambers had no objection to Loh’s leave application.

“However, the respondents’ lawyers did (object),” he told The Vibes, adding that a full statement on the matter will be issued to the press later.

Loh had initially filed an application for a judicial review on March 25 to quash her children’s unilateral conversion and is seeking a declaration that a Perlis enactment allowing for such conversions of minors is null and void.
