PETALING JAYA: Police have confirmed that investigations are being conducted over allegations of deviant activities during a motivational talk in Shah Alam.
Shah Alam OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said that the alleged incident occurred last year, with a police report lodged at the end of February this year.
"We have called in the wife of the complainant as well as other participants of the event for statement taking. The incident allegedly took place in September of 2024.
"There are several matters we must confirm first before any decision is made if follow-up action is to be taken by the police or the state religious department (Jais)," he said.
Previously, the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (Jakim) said in a statement that it had started investigations over the motivational talk where it was alleged that semi-naked dancing and "holy cleansing baths" were conducted.
A social media user had created a storm with allegations that a women’s self-development programme held in Shah Alam last September had exhibited vulgarity and self-exposure.
The woman went on to say that the three-day programme, held at the IDCC Convention Centre, was organised by a company owned by a well-known personal-development coach, speaker and author, along with her husband.
She had said the shocking incident happened on the last day of the programme at a closed-door event attended by some 50 women.
