There is a need to amend child custody law, says MCA president


KUALA LUMPUR: The child custody battle between a Muslim convert and his Hindu former wife has led the MCA to call for the law governing the matter to be amended.

Party president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said a Federal Court ruling where both parents got one child each after the mother was previously granted full custody led him to believe that the law should be relooked again.
