‘Hallucination water' claims spark criminal investigation into eHati marriage programme in Selangor
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said several witnesses will be called soon to obtain confirmation include the use of water that allegedly caused hallucinations.
'Currently, information has only been obtained from third parties and the police will call up any individual involved to prove whether there criminal offences exist.
'As such, the police will open an investigation paper to secure direct statements and confirmation about the use of certain water or other offences under the Penal Code,' he said when contacted today.
He added that the police are working with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) according to their jurisdictions to obtain vital facts about the allegations against eHATI.
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 here and JAIS director Datuk Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad issued a statement stating that the case was being investigated under Section 7 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995. — Bernama

Putrajaya PKR files report against Harakah over anti-Anwar rally
Putrajaya PKR deputy chief Shariff Jeev (third from left) and other division leaders after filing the police report at the district police headquarters. PUTRAJAYA : Putrajaya PKR has lodged a police report against PAS organ Harakah Daily over an allegedly seditious article that promotes a protest against Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. At a press conference outside the district police headquarters, the division's deputy chief Shariff Jeev claimed the article contained seditious content that would incite Malaysians. 'We urge the police to investigate the article and the planned protests under Section 124B of the Penal Code (for committing an activity detrimental to parliamentary democracy) or any appropriate law,' he said. When asked if he wanted the authorities to prevent the rally from going ahead, he said it should be allowed to proceed if it was held in an 'appropriate way'. Shariff nonetheless claimed that the protest planned for July 26 could become a threat to the country's peaceful way of life and its parliamentary democracy. 'So far, 52 police reports have been lodged throughout the country, including in Sabah and Sarawak. Today alone six reports were filed', he added. Putrajaya PKR information chief Hafiz Osman called for the protest to be held somewhere else instead of Dataran Merdeka to prevent it from 'spiralling out of control'. 'We do not want the protesters to provoke others. We hope the police will be able to cordon off the area.' The rally organised by Perikatan Nasional aims to push for Anwar's resignation as prime minister. Last week, over 300 rallied in Shah Alam for the same cause. The smaller rally was held to promote the Dataran Merdeka protest.
