00:00Muhammad Nagaswaran Munyandi, the former husband of Luo Siu Hong, has died. He was 38.
00:09The formerly married couple became embroiled in a custody battle after Nagaswaran, a Muslim convert,
00:16took their three children to Perlis and unilaterally converted them to Islam in 2020.
00:22Luo, who left Nagaswaran in 2019 after claiming abuse, filed for a Hiba Corpus order for her children in early 2022.
00:32The High Court ruled in a favor and she was reunited with the children.
00:37In April 2024, the federal court also ruled that both parents must consent to a child's conversion and confirmed that Luo's children remain Hindus.
00:47Nagaswaran had a criminal record, having served time in the Kalantan prison for a drug-related offense.
00:54He was also charged at the Sungai Patani Sessions Court in July 2023 with causing grievous hurt to Luo at their home in 2019.
