Appeals court allows Maips to intervene in Loh's custody case

The Court of Appeal has allowed the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (Maips) to intervene and vary the custody order granted to single mother Loh Siew Hong for her three unilaterally converted children.

Judge Has Zanah Mehat, who led a three-member bench in the unanimous decision, said the law on intervention is governed by Order 15 Rule 6(2) of Court 2012 read with Section 96 of the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976.
