PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal fixed Feb 7, 2023 to hear the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council's (MAIPs) appeal against a High Court decision in disallowing the council to intervene in a divorce proceeding involving single mother Loh Siew Hong and her Muslim convert ex-husband, Muhammad Nagahswaran Muniandy.

MAIPs is seeking to intervene in the proceeding for the purpose of varying a custody order given to Loh to enable the council to provide Islamic education and training and tithes to her three children who were converted to Islam by their father.
