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.
