MAIPs’ bid to vary custody order of Loh’s Muslim children dismissed



Justice Hayatul Akmal Abdul Aziz says the children have told her that they do not intend to remain as Muslims.

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has dismissed an application by the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Council (MAIPs) to vary a custody order of three Muslim children who are now under the care of their non-Muslim mother, Loh Siew Hong.

Justice Hayatul Akmal Abdul Aziz said MAIPs’s application was not in the best interest of the children.

“There is no reasonable or lawful justification to vary the order as there is no change in circumstances,” she said in her ruling.

The judge also revealed that she interviewed the children individually and collectively in her chambers on Sept 27, where they told her they did not intend to remain as Muslims.

Last year, MAIPs applied to vary the custody order to intervene in Loh’s divorce from her ex-husband Muhammad Nagahswaran Muniandy, who had converted to Islam.

On July 6, 2020, the three children were taken by Nagahswaran to Perlis, where they were converted to Islam without her consent.

On Feb 21 last year, the three siblings, who were under the care and control of preacher Nazirah Nanthakumari Abdullah, were released to Loh after the High Court allowed her habeas corpus application.

MAIPs was asking for access to the children – twin girls, aged 15, and an 11-year-old boy – once a fortnight for them to be provided religious education and to participate in religious celebrations.

They also wanted the boy to be taken to a nearby mosque every week to perform Friday prayers.

MAIPS also wanted to provide financial assistance to the children and to pay an allowance to Loh as their caretaker.

  3. Welcome to the Hotel California..
    you can never leave... Including children.

    MAIP and all the Race and Religion champions will find a way to ensure the children MUST be Muslims.

  4. I am glad the Judge - as Muslim , based on his name - had the integrity to rule according to the law, and not as a Muslim first.

    But I have very low expectations about the final outcome.
