KUALA LUMPUR: The Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) has filed an application to intervene in a divorce petition at the High Court here between a single mother, Loh Siew Hong, and ex-husband Muhammad Nagahswaran Muniandy, who converted to Islam with their three children.
Lawyer Datuk Zainul Rijal Abu Bakar, representing MAIPs, said in a statement on Tuesday (March 8) the application was filed through Messrs Zainul Rijal on Monday (March 7) so that the religious authority would have locus standi to apply for a variation on the terms of the sole custody order granted to Loh.
