JAIS Calling Organisers Of e-Hati To Record Statement - Mohd Na'im
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar said JAIS has summoned several witnesses in relation to the case so far 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 Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to see the progress (of the investigation).
"JAIS is also conducting an investigation under syariah crimes and JAIS is also calling witnesses to provide statements to assist in the investigation of the case," he said.
He told reporters after officiating the Sinar Lestari Programme of the Islamic Economic Development Foundation of Malaysia (YAPEIM) in Penaga here which saw three heads of families received assistance to build their own new houses at the event.
Therefore, Mohd Na'im said his party is waiting for a complete report from JAIS regarding the programme.
The public was shocked by the revelation of a social media user regarding the e-Hati motivational programme run by a married couple which is said to contain 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.

Civil servant injured in group assault at Tawau restaurant
TAWAU: A civil servant sustained injuries after being assaulted by a group of men at a restaurant near Jalan St Patrick, in the Fajar town centre, early yesterday morning. In the 12.40am incident, the 30-year-old victim was attacked by more than 10 individuals while having drinks at the premises. District police chief Assistant Commissioner Jasmin Hussin said the victim claimed he was struck with a glass and saw an unknown individual brandishing a knife during the attack. "The victim, who works for a local government authority, said he was unaware of the reason for the assault and has since lodged a police report," he said in a statement. Following the report, police arrested four local men, aged between 17 and 29, in a series of separate operations yesterday. The first arrest, involving a 27-year-old man with four prior criminal records related to drugs and mischief, was made at 11.30am at Jambatan 3 Melati, Kampung Pukat, Tanjung Batu Laut.

Debt likely a motive in abduction, say police
PETALING JAYA: A suspected gang member was arrested in SS19, Subang Jaya, on Tuesday, just hours after he abducted a man in Puchong. Subang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Wan Azlan Wan Mamat ( pic ) said the victim, who was with the 32-year-old suspect, was rescued during the police operation at 10pm. He said the victim was found to have suffered minor injuries from the incident. ACP Wan Azlan said the suspect, who has a criminal record and a tattoo of an outlawed secret society, was remanded for investigation for four days. 'Preliminary investigation showed that the motive of abduction is related to debts,' he told reporters. Police are on the lookout for three accomplices of the suspect who remain at large. The case is being investigated for abduction and causing hurt. A video of the abduction was circulated on social media on Tuesday, which shows four men pulling off the abduction with a small bonded lorry by a road shoulder in Jalan Persiaran Puchong at about 6.30pm.

Search for Zayn Rayyan was not near the garden area, court told
PETALING JAYA: The mother of the late Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin admitted that she did not search the garden area near her apartment in Block R, Idaman Apartment, Damansara Damai, when her son with autism went missing on Dec 5, 2023. Instead, Ismanira Abdul Manaf, 30, said she searched around the complex and nearby premises. 'I searched every floor in Block R, then continued to Block S and Block A. 'All the apartment blocks have four levels. I searched alone at first while staying in contact with my husband (Zaim Ikhwan Zahari), who was then on his way home from work. 'He told me he was almost at Idaman Apartment and asked me to wait in front of Block E. 'When he arrived, we continued the search together,' she said during cross-examination by deputy public prosecutor Raja Zaizul Faridah Raja Zaharudin on the third day of her defence trial in the Sessions Court here yesterday, Bernama reported. Ismanira said both of them also looked for their son at several places within a 500m radius from their home, including a petrol station, fast food outlets, her workplace, his school, Indah Apartment, Harmoni Apartment and Prima Damansara. She agreed with the prosecution's suggestion that all the locations she searched were further from the garden next to Block R. The first defence witness, however, disagreed with the prosecution's suggestion that she had encountered several people while searching the apartment blocks. 'Perhaps a few, but not many. It was during working hours, so the area was quiet except for the shop section. 'I only met people when I stopped at Block A where there were stalls. 'My husband and I left our contact numbers at each shop we visited,' she said. When questioned by defence lawyer Haresh Mahadevan about her decision to search areas 500m away instead of the nearby garden, Ismanira said: 'I know my son. He is on the autism spectrum and he only goes to places he is familiar with. 'I never brought him to the garden or to the location where his body was found. 'Unless something unusual had happened or someone took him there, he wouldn't have gone there on his own.' On Monday, Judge Dr Syahliza Warnoh ruled that the prosecution had established a prima facie case and ordered Ismanira to enter her defence. Her husband, Zaim Ikhwan, 30, was discharged and acquitted of the same charge. The couple had been accused of neglecting Zayn Rayyan in a manner likely to cause him physical harm between noon on Dec 5 and 9.55pm on Dec 6, 2023, in the vicinity of Block R of Idaman Apartment and the nearby river. They were charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code. The offence carries a jail term of up to 20 years, a fine of up to RM50,000, or both.
