The Kuala Lumpur High Court has set April 29 to hear the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council's (Maips) application to intervene in the divorce proceedings between single mother Loh Siew Hong and Muslim convert Muhammad Nagahswaran Muniandy.

The council is seeking locus standi (legal standing) in the divorce proceedings so that it could apply to vary Loh's custody order over her three unilaterally-converted children.
