The Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Etiquette Council (Maips) has gone up to the Court of Appeal to be allowed to provide Islamic guidance to the unilaterally converted children of 35-year-old single mother Loh Siew Hong.

The state Islamic body filed the notice of appeal on Friday last week (Oct 20), targeting the Kuala Lumpur High Court’s dismissal of its application to vary the custody order granted to Loh (above) in relation to her children - twin daughters aged 15 and an 11-year-old boy.
