Loh's children to remain non-Muslims, leave application to appeal denied

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has denied leave for the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) and three others to appeal an appellate court decision to nullify the conversion of three children to Islam by their father without the mother's consent.

A three-member panel of judges led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat dismissed the applications for leave to appeal by MAIPs, the Perlis State Registrar of Converts, Perlis Mufti Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin and the Perlis state government.
