WE refer to the announcement by the director-general of Jakim, Datuk Othman Mustapha, that two officers and a sergeant from the Royal Malaysia Police will be placed at the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) to assist the department in syariah law enforcement.
According to Othman, this is a trial project and the intention is to extend this arrangement to the Islamic religious departments of other states. These police officers will be giving JAIS advice and sharing expertise in conducting enforcement operations as well as using their own network to get more police assistance needed in an operation.
