Jais can’t prove khalwat in Norman-Memey case


KUALA LUMPUR: The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) operations chief says he only suspects artists Norman Hakim and Memey had committed the khalwat (close proximity) offence on Oct 30 last year.

“I cannot prove the celebrity couple did indeed commit khalwat at around 3am at an office in Taman Ukay Perdana, Hulu Klang,” Abdul Rahman Lai told Syariah Court deputy public prosecutor Muhamad Nazri Basrawi.
