Preacher under sex video probe lost credentials in 2022, says Mais
PETALING JAYA : The preacher who was recently arrested by police over the distribution of sex videos had his teaching credentials revoked in 2022, says the Selangor Islamic religious council (Mais).
Mais chairman Salehuddin Saidin said the man was previously detained by the Selangor Islamic religious department (Jais) in September last year for preaching without authorisation, Kosmo reported.
'He committed an offence under Section 119 of the Administration of Islamic Law Enactment (Selangor State) 2003,' he was quoted as saying.
Salehuddin Saidin.
'The case is still at the trial stage at the syariah lower court. A surau administrator is also under investigation for allegedly facilitating the unauthorised lecture.'
Yesterday, Shah Alam police confirmed the preacher's arrest following allegations that he had distributed explicit videos involving himself, his wives, and other women.
The investigation began after a report was lodged by the man's second wife on June 16, claiming he had shared the content with others.
The suspect was remanded for four days and released on police bail yesterday.
The case is currently being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code, Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955.

Probe into fake MCs involving civil servant still ongoing, says chief secretary to govt
MELAKA, July 7 — Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN) Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar said he is awaiting the results of an investigation into the alleged submission of fake medical certificates (MCs) by a civil servant in Sungai Petani, Kedah, as reported by the media yesterday. According to him, the investigation is still ongoing and he has yet to receive a full report on the case. '(The investigation) is still ongoing and the report will be submitted to me soon,' he told reporters after attending the Melaka-level Jelajah Taat Setia Madani Programme at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) in Ayer Keroh, here today. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh officiated the closing ceremony of the programme, which was also attended by Melaka State Secretary Datuk Azhar Arshad. The media yesterday reported that three individuals, including a heart patient, had been arrested over their suspected involvement in the sale of fake MCs. Their activities were uncovered following an internal probe into a policeman who frequently went on sick leave, with the MCs he submitted found to be suspicious. Meanwhile, in his speech at the programme, Shamsul Azri said civil servants' loyalty to leaders should not be seen as personal, but rather as loyalty to the principles of constitutional democracy. 'As civil servants, we serve a legitimate government in accordance with the law. We are not bound to any political party, but to the oath of office we have taken to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law. 'Loyalty to leaders is not individualistic in nature but a means of strengthening national stability, enhancing administrative effectiveness, and ensuring the continuity of lawfully formulated national policies,' he said. At the same event, Ab Rauf and Shamsul Azri jointly launched the Madani Pocket Book, which is available in six languages — Malay, English, Mandarin, Tamil, Iban and Kadazan. The pocketbook serves as a brief yet comprehensive guide to understanding the Malaysia Madani framework and key initiatives introduced by the government. — Bernama

Male influencer dressed as woman detained by Jaim during TikTok live
The man was wearing a purple blouse, a bun-styled wig, women's shoes and earrings during the inspection. A social media influencer who dressed and acted like a woman was detained by Jaim in Banda Hilir, Melaka early Monday morning. MELAKA – A male social media influencer who dressed and behaved like a woman was detained by the Melaka Islamic Religious Department (Jaim) while doing a live broadcast on TikTok in Banda Hilir, here, early Monday morning. Jaim director Datuk Md Azhan Samat said the 25-year-old man was arrested by the department's enforcement officers at about 1.30am following public complaints. He said the man was wearing a purple blouse, a bun-styled wig, women's shoes and earrings during the inspection. "The items were seized by the religious enforcement officers and will be used as evidence in the case," he said in a statement. He added that the man was brought to Jaim's office for documentation process and further investigation. Jaim conducted the raid following public complaints claiming that the man's actions were promoting and normalising the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community culture in the country, which made many people uncomfortable. Azhan reminded Muslims not to adopt LGBT lifestyles as it is prohibited in Islam and may offend the sensitivities of Malaysians. "This act is also against the law, which does not support any form of LGBT practices in Malaysia. "The case is being investigated under Section 72 of the Syariah Offences Enactment (Melaka State) 1991 (which pertains to the offence of a man posing as a woman in a public place)," he said. Those found guilty of the offence are liable to a fine of up to RM1,000, a jail term of up to six months or both.
