Motivation Gone Wild? Claim Of 'Sexy' Dance At Women's Programme Raises Eyebrows
Subscribe to our FREE Wellness and motivational programmes are not a new thing. Some actually do help people with struggles they are going through in their lives with meaningful activities and good habit-forming exercises. But there are also programmes led by unconventional hosts or leaders that may raise more than a few eyebrows. Recently, a Malaysian motivational programme called 'eHati' was alleged to have engaged in rituals and Islamic deviancy with some 'naked' and sexy dance thrown in. What does eHati do? Founded by a husband and wife duo, eHati is aimed at helping women rebuild confidence, find inner peace, and enhance marital harmony. The programmes they offer include mentoring circles, love renewal, audio courses, breathwork, and other modules aimed at emotional healing and self-growth. Some of the courses also include advice and tips on sexual intimacy, such as the Diet Sentuhan Cinta audio course which touches on issues surrounding premature ejaculation and how to remedy it. Inappropriate content allegations and the IDCC incident Through a post on Facebook, a person by the name of Masyitah Ashari shared some troubling allegations of what went on at an eHati event that took place at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC) Shah Alam on 30 September, 2024. She illustrated how in one session, the hall had dimmed lights and romantic music. Masyitah claimed that the programme's highest-level members engaged in some provocative dancing which included taking their clothes off. 'It was like a nightclub. At this point many of the other participants found it strange and started feeling creeped out,' Masyitah said. An allegedly 'spiked' drink was given to participants Masyitah described a beverage called Piya that was given to participants at the event, which allegedly acted as an aphrodisiac. 'That's that Piya drink that tastes like bananas blended with chocolate,' she said, adding that participants were told the drink would make them feel calm. After about 15 minutes, Masyitah claimed that the mood changed in the hall, as the dancing became increasingly sexual. The participants were allegedly told that the act of undressing and throwing their clothes on the floor was to 'cleanse' themselves of negativity. 'There were a few participants who did it, and a few who didn't do it. Some of them took their clothes off until they were completely naked and threw their clothes on the ground….,' Masyitah explained. After the naked dancing session, Masyitah claimed there was a 'Sacred Bath' ceremony where participants would bathe in a bathtub, wrapped in a cloth, and then unwrapped to signify their 'rebirth'. Public Health Malaysia, a Facebook page focused on health-related issues and topics, alleged that the 'Piya' drink consumed by th eHati participants may be a drink that has been spiked with psilocybin mushrooms a.k.a. magic mushrooms, which contains a powerful psychoactive compound that causes hallucinations. A police investigation has been opened over 'hallucination water' and moral misconduct claims Police have confirmed that an inquiry paper has been opened to identify any criminal offence linked to the eHati motivation programme, Bernama Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said several witnesses will be called soon to obtain confirmation about the use of water that allegedly caused hallucinations. He added that the police are working with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) according to their jurisdictions to obtain vital facts about the allegations against eHati. JAIS director Datuk Mohd Shahizan Ahmad issued a statement stating that the case is being investigated under Section 7 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995.

Sungai Korok Tragedy: Essential car in water emergency tips
THE nation mourns the tragic loss of six family members in the Sungai Korok incident, where a car plunged into the river, claiming the lives of an entire family. This devastating accident has sent shockwaves throughout the country, prompting both grief and urgent calls for water emergency preparedness. The family, including Mohd Azim Ezzat Ishak, 32, his wife Nurul Hidayah Khalijah Razman Effendy, 31, and their four children, aged between six months and nine years, were reported missing after failing to return home following an overnight stay at a relative's house in Taman Aman, Jitra, Kedah. The heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of how quickly tragedy can strike, leaving families and communities grappling with unimaginable loss. As the nation extends its deepest condolences to the bereaved families, safety experts are emphasising the critical importance of knowing how to respond in such emergencies. A Nation in Mourning The loss of six lives from one family has deeply affected Malaysians across the country. In expressing condolences, community leaders have called for prayers that the victims be placed amongst the faithful, whilst those left behind are granted strength to face this tremendous test. 'We can only send prayers that they are placed amongst the believers, and that the families left behind are given strength to face this very heavy trial,' expressed Public Health Malaysia in its Facebook post, in response to the tragedy. Learning from Tragedy: Essential Water Emergency Knowledge According to Public Health Malaysia, the tragic incident has since sparked important conversations about emergency preparedness. As such the safety advocate group is using this moment to educate the public about crucial survival steps that could make the difference between life and death in similar situations. Critical Steps for Car-in-Water Emergencies Safety experts have outlined a simple but potentially life-saving sequence for anyone whose vehicle becomes submerged: 1. Stay Calm: Panic only slows reaction time. Focus entirely on getting out of the vehicle. 2. Remove Seatbelt Immediately: This should be the first action taken upon realising the car has plunged into water. 3. Don't Attempt to Open Doors: Water pressure makes doors nearly impossible to open from inside. 4. Lower Windows Immediately: Within the first 30-60 seconds, the car's electronic systems may still function, making this the optimal time to lower windows. 5. Exit Through Windows: Push yourself out as quickly as possible through the lowered windows. 6. Break Windows if Necessary: If windows won't lower, use window-breaking tools, headrest metal prongs, or any available hard objects to shatter the glass. The Life-Saving Sequence: Belt-Window-Exit Emergency response experts recommend memorising this simple sequence: Seatbelt - Window - Exit. This easy-to-remember formula could prove invaluable in high-stress emergency situations where clear thinking becomes challenging. Essential Emergency Equipment The tragedy has also highlighted the importance of keeping emergency equipment readily accessible in vehicles. Safety advocates recommend: Window-breaking tools - Specifically designed for emergency glass breaking Seatbelt cutters - For situations where belt mechanisms jam Accessible placement - Emergency tools should be stored within easy reach, not in the boot The key emphasis is on accessibility during emergencies, when every second counts and reaching distant storage areas becomes impossible. Public Safety Education Campaign The incident has sparked calls for broader public safety education campaigns focusing on vehicle water emergency responses. Many Malaysians admit they've never considered what to do if their vehicle becomes submerged, making this knowledge potentially life-saving for countless families. Road safety organisations are emphasising that whilst such incidents are relatively rare, the consequences are so severe that basic emergency knowledge should be considered essential for all drivers. Moving Forward with Purpose As Malaysia processes this devastating loss, the focus is shifting towards ensuring such knowledge becomes widely available. The simple sequence of belt-window-exit, combined with proper emergency equipment, represents knowledge that every driver should possess. The victims of the Sungai Korok tragedy will be remembered not only for the lives they lived, but for the awareness their loss has brought to countless others about the importance of emergency preparedness. Their legacy may well be the lives saved by others who, having learned from this tragedy, are better prepared to respond if they ever face similar circumstances.
