Jais summons e-Hati organisers to record statements

The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) is currently in the process of summoning the organisers of the e-Hati marriage motivation programme to record statements to assist in investigations into allegations that it contains obscene elements and dubious beliefs.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Na'im Mokhtar said Jais has summoned several witnesses in relation to the case to assist in investigations being conducted under syariah crimes.

“The investigation into the case is still ongoing, so we are waiting for the results of the investigation and the investigation under the Penal Code, which we have handed over to the police, but Jais is also cooperating with the police to see the progress (of the investigation).

“Jais is also conducting an investigation under syariah crimes and is calling witnesses to provide statements to assist in the investigation,” he said.

He told reporters after officiating the Sinar Lestari Programme of the Islamic Economic Development Foundation of Malaysia (Yapeim) in Penaga, Kepala Batas, which saw three heads of families receive assistance to build their own new houses at the event.

Therefore, Na’im said his party is waiting for a complete report from JAIS regarding the programme.

A social media user recently revealed that the e-Hati motivational programme run by a married couple allegedly contained lewd elements and suspicious beliefs.

Following this, a married couple, including the founder of the company known as eHati, along with four other individuals, were remanded for three days to assist in investigations into the organisation of the motivational programme.

Earlier, Yapeim, together with strategic partners, helped build houses involving an allocation of RM240,000 for three beneficiaries in the B40 group from the eKasih list in Penang.
