Loh Siew Hong’s ex-husband gets fined RM20,000 for contempt of court

KUALA LUMPUR – The high court here has fined Muslim convert Muhammad Nagahswaran Muniandy, who was accused of abducting his three children and unilaterally converting them to Islam, RM20,000 for contempt of court.

Muhammad Nagahswaran has been given 14 days to pay up, otherwise, he will face two weeks in jail.

Justice Evrol Mariette Peters also ordered Muhammad Nagahswaran to pay former wife Loh Siew Hong RM6,000 in costs.

The judge said he had interfered with the administration of justice, reported Bernama.

She made the ruling after allowing Loh’s application to initiate committal proceedings against Muhammad Nagahswaran.

In the application, Loh claimed that there was a court order that granted her sole custody over her three children – a pair of 15-year-old twin girls and an 11-year-old boy – on March 31, 2021, which was violated by her ex-husband. – The Vibes, April 5, 2023
