KULIM: Several politicians are involved in a cult originating from South Korea that has come under scrutiny lately, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail
The Home Minister said the police's Special Branch had provided information on the cult, its activities, the involvement of local figures and more.
"The fact remains that it (the cult) is on the radar of our security forces," he said after launching a back to school program here on Saturday (Dec 13).
"At a glance, its activities currently do not appear to be a threat (to national security).
"So it may be due to this (non-threatening) appearance, several political figures are participating in its activities," Sinar Harian reported him as saying.
Saifuddin Nasution also said police would continue monitoring the organisation.
It was previously reported that Perlis Mufti Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin alleged on Facebook that several MPs and prominent figures were actively involved in the cult.
Saifuddin had said that the police's Special Branch has a unit that deals with issues of deviant teachings across various religions and beliefs, which includes monitoring the modus operandi of groups and individuals involved.
