KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here was told that the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) had direct legal interest to intervene in a divorce petition between a single mother, Loh Siew Hong, and ex-husband Muhammad Nagashwaran Muniandy, who converted to Islam with their three children.

MAIPs lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla said MAIPs had a statutory duty to look after the wellbeing, education and guidance of Muslim converts, as well as offer financial support from tithe funds and other assistance allowed by syarak .

Meanwhile, Loh’s counsel, A. Srimurugan, countered that MAIPs should not be allowed to be an intervener in this case as the Law Reform Act 1976 that governs marriage and divorce matters involving non-Muslims, prohibited the involvement of an Islamic state council. At this juncture, Mohamed Haniff Khatri stood up and objected to the labelling of the state religious council as a"busybody", saying that it is merely carrying out its legal duty to ensure the welfare of Loh’s three children.

After hearing arguments by both parties, Judge Evrol Mariette Peters fixed June 15 at 2.30pm for decision on whether to grant leave to MAIPs to intervene in the divorce petition.
