PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has denied a request by the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) and three others to revisit a 2018 ruling that held the unilateral conversion of minor children unconstitutional.
In a unanimous decision, a three-member apex court panel rejected an application for leave to challenge a ruling handed down by the Court of Appeal in favour of single mother Loh Siew Hong in January this year.
