The 46-year-old imam who hurled his shoes at a three-member panel of judges last month, has been served with a show-cause letter to answer for his actions before the Federal Court tomorrow.

Hoslan Hussain told Malaysiakini that the police, in two patrol cars from Putrajaya, had come to his home in Jalan Cochrane, Kuala Lumpur, today to serve the notice on him.

"The letter from the Federal Court states that I (will have) to appear before it tomorrow at 9am to answer for my action of hurling the shoes. I will attend as required, as I feel I am in the right," he said.

NONE The letter signed by the apex court’s deputy registrar Jumirah Marjuki, also states that one of the shoe hit a deputy registrar.

It also states that Hoslan was asked to answer the charge of committing contempt when he threw a pair of slippers at the panel of judges at the Federal Court between 10.15am and 10.30am on Feb 22, this year.

Hoslan had on Feb 22 thrown his shoes at the bench headed by Chief Judge of Malaya Zulkefli Ahmad Makinuddin ( above ), and also comprising Federal Court judge Suriyadi Halim Omar and Court of Appeal judge Zaleha Zahari.

The incident took place after the apex court refused to grant leave to his appeal regarding an eviction order from the Federal Territory Islamic Affairs Council (MAIWP).

NONE This follows MAIWP’s allegations that Hoslan ( left ) has disciplinary problems

He had been occupying its quarters since 2008. The Kuala Lumpur High Court issued an order for him to be evicted last June.

Hoslan filed an appeal and it was at this hearing, that he threw his shoes at the judges.

He has since moved out of the quarters.

Karpal to appear for Hoslan

Hoslan, who was not represented during the proceedings on Feb 22, said he has appointed a lawyer to represent him tomorrow. He has also lodged a police report

Following the incident, Hoslan had in an interview with Malaysiakini alleged he was highlighting that corruption was rife in the mosque and that this resulted in MAIWP not being happy and decided to remove him.

Hoslan claimed in 2006, some RM200,000 in donations raised by the mosque ended up in the pockets of certain former committee members.

"I found that the amount we had in the bank was significantly different from what we had raised," he said.

In a related development, veteran lawyer and DAP chairperson Karpal Singh told Malaysiakini that he will represent Hoslan tomorrow.

“Yes he has come to my office and I will be representing him tomorrow as he appears before the court,” he said from his office.

The Federal Court in a statement commenting on the incident has denied it had not delivered justice on the imam.
