Doctor couple nabbed for khalwat in heated stand-off at home while roommates were away
TWO young doctors from Melaka Hospital were detained for khalwat at their rented home in Taman Semabok Perdana yesterday, following a tense encounter with religious authorities. The 26-year-old couple drew attention after the male doctor refused to open the door during a raid by Melaka Islamic Religious Department (JAIM) officers at around 3pm, Kosmo reported. In a video posted on Instagram, he was seen standing with his arms akimbo and questioning why officers wanted to enter his rented home. He eventually relented some 20 minutes later, after the officers returned with police, an imam, and local residents. Melaka Education, Higher Education and Religious Affairs committee chairman Datuk Rahmad Mariman confirmed the arrest, saying the pair were found alone and hiding in a house allegedly shared with two other male tenants who were not present at the time. 'The couple, who work at Melaka Hospital, were detained for further investigation and taken to the JAIM office before being released on bail,' he was quoted as saying. The case is being investigated under Section 53 of the Melaka Syariah Offences Enactment 1991. If convicted, they face a fine of up to RM3,000, imprisonment of up to two years, or both. Sources familiar with the case said the couple were fully clothed during the raid.

Zamri, Firdaus, and cops define Madani's religious agenda
'The raid was conducted with everyone's best interests in mind. Our intention was simply to undertake amar makruf and nahi mungkar.' - Kelantan police chief Yusoff Mamat, referring to the Islamic concept of enjoining good and forbidding wrong. COMMENT | The inaction of the Madani state in not prosecuting two bigoted preachers and sanctioning (by silence) the actions of the police in Kelantan is evidence that the religious agenda of the state is not defined in Putrajaya. It is instead determined by state actors independent of the three branches of government, which may be a policy agenda of Madani. The action of the police in Kelantan is particularly egregious because the top brass continues with the disingenuous narrative that they were disrupting a 'gay sex party', even though the Health Ministry has in writing confirmed that this is an event they were involved. The Kelantan police continue to say otherwise in defiance of what a federal agency has stated, because they understand their actions, which are based on religious dogma, would not be contradicted by the federal agency tasked with ensuring the healthcare of the citizens of this country. Meanwhile, Bukit Aman remains silent when all this does is...
