MELAKA: Police are looking for two women who were seen in a TikTok video allegedly handing out pamphlets for “Free Bible Courses” outside Surau Warisan in Bandar Hilir here.

Melaka police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Zainol Samah said a Melaka Religious Department (Jaim) official had lodged a police report on Friday which claimed that the women were caught on video distributing the pamphlets.

“In his report, the Jaim official said he had watched the video, which was uploaded by another individual, and want police to act on two individuals seen distributing the materials, close to the stairways leading to the surau,” he said yesterday.
