(Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Two men led the police on a nearly 90km high-speed chase around Shah Alam early this morning before being apprehended in front of the Selangor police headquarters. Shah Alam police chief Iqbal Ibrahim said a bottle believed to contain ketum juice was found in the Proton Wira after the hour-long chase. The 24-year-old driver had five previous drug-related convictions, while the second suspect, aged 18, had no criminal record. Iqbal said the incident began when a police patrol car spotted a blue Proton Wira at the Section 7 commercial centre in Shah Alam at around 1.30am and ordered its driver to pull over. 'Police officers used their siren and loudspeaker to order the driver to stop, but the driver sped off in a reckless manner,' he said in a statement. This led to the 90km chase around Shah Alam which involved six other police patrol cars and ended in front of the main gate of the Selangor police headquarters in Section 9, Shah Alam. The men are being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant in the discharge of duty, which provides for a two-year jail term or a RM10,000 fine upon conviction. They are also being probed under Section 30(3) of the Poisons Act for possessing ketum juice. If convicted, they face a five-year jail term, a RM100,000 fine, or both.

Cops probe allegations of immoral activities at Shah Alam motivation programme
Shah Alam police chief Iqbal Ibrahim said the complaint was filed in February by the husband of a participant in the programme. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Police have launched an investigation into allegations of immoral activities during a household motivation programme at a convention centre in Shah Alam last September. Shah Alam police chief Iqbal Ibrahim said the complaint was filed by the husband of one of the participants in February, Bernama reported. 'We summoned the complainant's wife along with others who were present at the event to record their statements today. 'We also invited the Selangor Islamic religious department (Jais) to attend today's proceedings,' he was quoted as saying. He urged anyone with information to contact the Shah Alam police headquarters or investigating officer Anuar Amilah at 019-2255597. Islamic development department (Jakim) director-general Sirajuddin Suhaimee yesterday said Jakim will investigate the programme as it was linked to acts of idolatry (syirik) and immoral rituals. Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari said today that while the event had no connection with the state government, he was concerned about the allegations. 'We need to conduct a comprehensive investigation and take strict action against anyone involved,' he said in a Berita Harian report. The motivational event, aimed at a Malay audience, involved about 50 female participants and was held at Shah Alam from Sept 27 to 30 last year. It gained public attention after a Facebook user claimed that troubling events occurred on the final day. According to the netizen, the session took a disturbing turn when a female speaker entered wearing a bikini, proceeded to strip naked and began dancing with members of her group. They then allegedly encouraged participants to follow suit, removing their clothes after being given a mysterious drink. The participants were also reportedly instructed to take part in rituals described as a 'sacred bath' and 'rebirth'.
