S'gor police open inquiry paper to identify crimes linked to eHATI
SHAH ALAM: The police have confirmed that an inquiry paper has been opened to identify any criminal offence linked to the eHATI marriage motivation programme. Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said several witnesses will be called soon to obtain confirmation include the use of water that allegedly caused hallucinations. "Currently, information has only been obtained from third parties and the police will call up any individual involved to prove whether there criminal offences exist. "As such, the police will open an investigation paper to secure direct statements and confirmation about the use of certain water or other offences under the Penal Code," he said when contacted today. He said the police are working with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) according to their jurisdictions to obtain vital facts about the allegations against eHATI. Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari was reported to have asked Jais to look into allegations of immoral activities occurring during the organisation of eHATI programmes at a convention centre here and Jais director Datuk Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad issued a statement stating that the case was being investigated under Section 7 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995.

Motivational event organiser linked to immoral acts summoned by Mais before in 2022
SHAH ALAM: The organiser of a marital motivation programme, alleged to have conducted immoral activities during a session at a convention centre here, was summoned by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) three years ago regarding their modules. The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) director, Datuk Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad, said a former participant of the group's programme lodged a report in 2022, raising concerns regarding the inappropriate modules that the organiser used in the programme. "The organiser was called in by the hearing panel under the Mais Aqidah Control Committee and was instructed to revise several modules to ensure compliance with Islamic principles,' he said in a statement on Saturday (July 12). Shahzihan said that Jais did not receive any report about the alleged immoral activities during one of the group's sessions at a convention centre in September last year, which went viral on social media. However, he said that the department will summon several individuals on Tuesday (July 15) to assist in the investigation and will work closely with the police. He said Jais will conduct an investigation under Section 7 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995 (false doctrine), on suspicion that a ceremony or act related to Islam had taken place which is contrary to Islamic law. "Jais views such matters seriously and will take all necessary measures to prevent and counter any activity that goes against Islamic law and ethical values, which are rejected by all levels of society in Selangor and the country at large,' he said. He also urged the public with information on the programme to contact Jais Enforcement Management Division via its hotline at 1800-88-2424 or to visit the Jais office directly.- Bernama
