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.

NST Leader: Reducing SPM dropouts requires intervention, not enforcement
THE 11,412 teenagers who went missing in last year's Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations can be split into two main groups: those who want to sit for the SPM but were forced away by extenuating circumstances and those who just don't want to. The first category can be due to all sorts of travails that can derail a young life, such as working to support families, a death in the family, unstable home environments, or illness or health complications. It is the second category that is the most disturbing: students influenced by peers that further education is of little value. This perception is aggravated by the obsession to become social media influencers, anything to avoid slogging for higher education. There is also a third category: those eschewing the national system to be privately educated. Alarmed by the dropouts, the Education Ministry is taking action by mobilising home visits, providing counselling and monitoring absenteeism. But still, the decision to take the examination or drop out ultimately lies with the student. The ministry was somewhat successful under the Education Development Plan (2013-2025) in getting dropouts to return to school. As alarming as last year's 11,412 SPM dropouts were, it was an improvement from the 19,311 in 2020. These efforts are slow, but a faster, more punitive proposal is in the works: making secondary school education compulsory, with dropouts liable to a RM5,000 fine or six months' imprisonment. These measures in the Education (Amendment) Bill 2025 just tabled in Parliament, if adopted, should shrink dropout rates as parents are forced to ensure their children stay in school. The government views the bill as a way to improve literacy and skills, and reduce youth unemployment, narrow income gap and improve socioeconomic status. However, a word of caution: there may be a mutinous lot who will still opt out despite knowing the consequences. Perhaps the government should continue focusing on slow but positive intervention, rather than punitive measures. Dragging unrelenting parents or students to court or penalising them are terrible optics that'll whip up public backlash, besides further exposing a failed education system.
