‘Queen's Night' probe widens: Police warn remaining eHati participants to come forward or face arrest
He said they have identified around 50 participants, of whom 30 have been interviewed. The remaining individuals have been asked to come forward or face arrest.
'We have already recorded statements from several participants. However, there are still individuals, including public sector employees, who were involved and have yet to step forward. We will not hesitate to arrest them,' Hussein said.
The case is being investigated under Section 209 (false claims), Section 14 (minor offences), and Section 294 of the Penal Code, which includes offences committed under the guise of religion.
Among those arrested are six individuals — four women and two men — believed to be married couples who participated in the so-called Queen's Night session, a four-day, three-night retreat offered under 'Package B' of the eHati programme.
Queen's Night reportedly involved nudity and lewd acts.
Police have also seized various items from the event, including ribbons and liquids believed to have been used during ritual-like activities. These materials have been sent to the Ministry of Health for further analysis to determine whether they contain banned substances or drugs.
'This programme has been organised before, but this is the first time we're seeing something like a 'Queen's Night' session. That element is new and is central to our investigation,' said Hussein.
The programme was organised by a company known as eHati, which offers corporate motivational and self-development courses.
Police clarified that participants are not official members of eHati and that investigations are focusing on both facilitators and participants.
Authorities are also working to determine whether the event violated any religious sensitivities or misused religious elements to manipulate attendees.
'Not everyone who attended the programme is Muslim; individuals of other races were present as well,' said Hussein.
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari was reported to have asked the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) to look into allegations of immoral activities during the organisation of eHati programmes at a convention centre here.
JAIS director Datuk Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad confirmed the case is being investigated under Section 7 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995.
