MAIPs to guide, provide religious lessons to Loh's kids, lawyer tells court

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was informed on Wednesday (Sept 27) that the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) is responsible for guiding and educating three converted children under the care of their mother, Loh Siew Hong, to learn about Islam.

Lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla, representing MAIPs, said the council is legally responsible under the Perlis Islamic Religious Administration Enactment 2006 to ensure the welfare of these children is maintained, including providing support permitted by Islamic law, which can be channelled through any legal guardian.
