SHAH ALAM: Police will summon all participants of the recent eHati marriage motivation programme to have their statements recorded.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said investigations were launched after an inquiry paper was opened into the case.
"Based on investigations under the inquiry paper, the case has now been classified under sections 294 (obscene songs) and 509 (Word or gesture intended to insult the modesty of a person) of the Penal Code and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act.
"More detailed investigations are needed to ascertain if there were obscene elements or teachings that deviate from societal norms as has been alleged.
"A thorough investigation is underway to ensure every aspect and claim can be assessed fairly," he said in a statement.
Hussein asked the public to be more vigilant and cautious when participating in any programmes, activities, or workshops with unclear objectives or unknown organisers.
"The public is encouraged to conduct checks and make references beforehand before participating, so as not to get involved in activities that go against the law and moral values of society," he said.
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari was reported to have asked Jais to look into allegations of immoral activities occurring during the organisation of eHati programmes at a convention centre.
