KUALA LUMPUR: The Islamic Development Department Malaysia (Jakim) has submitted an official complaint to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) regarding a Telegram account run by a woman that discusses obscene topics.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar, in a statement Monday (May 22), said the matter is being investigated by MCMC under Section 223 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588).

"Jakim has been in contact with the Terengganu Religious Affairs Department (JHEAT) on calling up the women concerned for a meeting as she resides in Terengganu.

Among the lewd ideas promoted by the woman was telling husbands to rape their wives and wives to serve their husbands like prostitutes, besides messages in the Telegram group that tell husbands to hurt their wives if they refuse to serve their husbands. - Bernama
