Cops probe allegations of immoral activities at Shah Alam motivation programme

PETALING JAYA: Police have launched an investigation into allegations of immoral activities during a household motivation programme at a convention centre in Shah Alam last September.

Shah Alam police chief Iqbal Ibrahim said the complaint was filed by the husband of one of the participants last February, Bernama reported.

“We summoned the complainant’s wife along with other witnesses who were present at the event to record their statements today.

“We also invited the Selangor Islamic religious department (Jais) to attend today’s proceedings,” he was quoted as saying.

He urged anyone with relevant information to contact the Shah Alam police headquarters or the investigating officer, Anuar Amilah, at 019-2255597.

Islamic development department (Jakim) director-general Sirajuddin Suhaimee yesterday said Jakim will investigate the programme as it was linked to acts of idolatry (syirik) and immoral rituals.

Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari today said while the event had no connection to the state government, he was concerned about the allegations.

“We need to conduct a comprehensive investigation and take strict action against anyone involved,” he said in a Berita Harian report.

The motivational event, aimed at a Malay audience, involved about 50 female participants and was held in Shah Alam on Sept 27-30 last year. It gained public attention after a Facebook user claimed that troubling events occurred on the final day.

According to the netizen, the session took a disturbing turn when a female speaker entered wearing a bikini, proceeded to strip naked and began dancing with members of her group.

They then allegedly encouraged participants to follow suit, removing their clothes after being given a mysterious drink. Participants were also reportedly instructed to take part in rituals described as a “sacred bath” and “rebirth”.
