Mais: Preacher arrested for spreading sex videos lost credentials in 2022
SHAH ALAM: The Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) had, in 2022, already revoked the teaching credentials of a preacher who was recently arrested by police over suspected involvement in criminal activities. Mais chairman Datuk Salehuddin Saidin said the individual was previously detained by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) in September 2024 for preaching without valid credentials. "It is an offence under Section 119 of the Administration of the Religion of Islam (State of Selangor) Enactment 2003, and the case is still being heard at the Syariah Subordinate Court. "A surau administrator is also under investigation in the same case for allegedly facilitating the unauthorised lecture," he said in a statement today. Yesterday, district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said police were investigating an independent preacher for allegedly disseminating sex videos involving his wives and several other women. Salehuddin said, since 2022, Mais had revoked the accreditation of 35 people for breaching set conditions, including delivering teachings that deviated from the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed, committing criminal offences and holding political positions. "Several others have had their teaching credentials suspended pending investigations in accordance with relevant laws," he added. He said all policies and decisions by the religious authorities are made with due diligence and have received the consent of the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, as the head of Islam in the state. "These measures are intended to protect the interests of the Muslim community in Selangor," he said.

Selayang slaughterhouses raided, 36 foreign workers detained
KUALA LUMPUR: Six chicken slaughterhouses at the Selayang Wholesale Market, mostly operated by foreigners, were raided in an integrated operation that led to the detention of 36 foreign men. The Immigration Department, in collaboration with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department, found that most of the premises were operating in an unregulated manner, with floors covered in blood and chicken waste. "Only one of the premises was managed by a local, while the other five were believed to be fully operated by foreign workers. "During the raid, several workers attempted to flee but were successfully apprehended," the department said in a statement yesterday. It said a total of 36 foreign men, aged between 20 and 45, were detained for allegedly working without valid documents. The detainees comprised 25 Myanmar nationals, 10 Bangladeshis, and one Indonesian, including several individuals holding UNHCR cards. "All of them are being investigated under the Immigration Act 1959/63, the Passport Act 1966, and Regulation 39(b) of the Immigration Regulations 1963. "In addition, the department issued notices to four local men to assist with the investigation. The Immigration Department remains committed to ensuring that all business premises comply with the law and do not employ foreign workers illegally," it said. The raid was conducted in the early hours of the morning, around 1.45am, following public complaints and three weeks of intelligence gathering.
