Jakim probes 'misleading' marriage programme amidst nude dance, ritual allegations
The investigation follows public uproar triggered by social media revelations about a programme reportedly organised by a husband-and-wife team. Sirajuddin PUTRAJAYA – The Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim), in collaboration with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais), is conducting a thorough investigation into allegations involving a controversial marriage motivation programme. This programme was said to be misleading and contrary to Islamic principles. Jakim director-general, Datuk Dr Sirajuddin Suhaimee stated that the investigation aims to confirm the validity of the claims before any appropriate action is taken, in line with current legal provisions. 'Jakim views this matter seriously following public concern over the circulation of information involving the organisation of a questionable marriage motivation event,' he said in a statement on Friday. Sirajuddin reiterated that the government, through Jakim and state religious authorities, remains committed to safeguarding the integrity of Islamic values, particularly in matters involving family harmony, morality and the preservation of religious principles. 'This joint investigation is part of an ongoing effort by Jakim and state authorities to curb deviant practices and the spread of harmful ideologies that contradict Islamic teachings,' he added. The investigation follows public uproar triggered by social media revelations about a programme reportedly organised by a husband-and-wife team. In a viral Facebook post, it was alleged that two women performed a nude dance during the event, which was held at a convention centre in Shah Alam, Selangor. Participants were also allegedly given a mysterious drink that caused sudden emotional shifts. They were also asked to undergo a ritual resembling a 'spiritual cleansing' or symbolic rebirth, practices that appeared similar to rituals from other religions. The incident has drawn strong criticism and concern from members of the public. More Like This
