Cops Confirm Nudity At Controversial Motivational Programme

---

 


The police confirmed that nude activities were carried out during a controversial motivational programme held at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC) in Shah Alam.
Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the nude activity was called “rebirth” and was part of a package from the programme, known as Package B, that cost RM9,000.
“At the event, there were indeed nude activities carried out by four individuals. The event was called ‘Queen’s Night’, which was held on the last night of the programme.
“Investigations found that the nude activities were carried out by the facilitators and also the participants of the programme,” Harian Metro quoted him as saying at the Selangor police headquarters today.
Yesterday, Berita Harian reported that the couple behind the motivational programme were detained by police.
The couple, Diyana Tahir and Rahim Shukor, who run eHati International Sdn Bhd, were recently under investigation by the police and Selangor religious authorities.
In a previous statement, the couple denied allegations about deviant teachings and substance abuse at eHati, made by a Facebook user who claimed to have evidence.
The couple described themselves as certified practitioners in the “field of hypnotherapy” and claimed every eHati programme was developed to comply with professional ethical standards and aligned with Malaysia’s cultural and religious values.
Questioning underway, liquids examined
Hussein said they identified 50 participants in the programme who were asked to provide the authorities with their statements.
So far, 30 have provided their statements, he added.
“We also found that there were civil servants who participated in this programme.
ADS“The police also seized various equipment used in the programme, including several liquids used as drinks,” he said.
He said samples of the liquid were sent for analysis.
Meanwhile, a report from Free Malaysia Today stated that six individuals, including Diyana and Rahim, were remanded for three days, starting today.
The six, aged from 26-57, were brought to the Shah Alam Magistrate’s Court earlier today. The remand process was conducted before Magistrate Ameera Mastura Khamis.
The group’s lawyer, Reza Hassan, said they will apply to review the remand decision.
Claims of provocative dancing, bath ritual
The motivational programme, believed to have taken place last September, sparked controversy after Facebook user “Masyitah Ashari” alleged last week that it featured participants undressing, consuming an unidentified drink, and taking part in questionable rituals.
Among the more shocking claims were that a brand founder and facilitators stripped in front of the group, followed by an invitation for others to drink a mystery liquid that allegedly triggered mood changes.
Participants were also purportedly asked to engage in provocative dancing, a sacred bath ritual, and a “rebirth” activity.
Masyitah, in responding to the couple’s denial, pointed out that their explanation did not explicitly deny allegations of participants dancing while nude, the sale of sex toys, or that there was a programme module on masturbation.
Previously, the Selangor top cop confirmed the case was being investigated under sections 294 and 509 of the Penal Code, alongside Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act. - Mkini
