Late Night Jakim Raid On Innocent Malay Girls Sparks Public Outrage

---

 
BEING a non-muslim, we have this privilege of mingling with the opposite gender behind closed doors without fear of the long arms of Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM).
But wouldn’t it be interesting to take on some other people’s perspective once in a while? A recent video went viral showing four Malay girls being visited by several JAKIM officers at 1.00am. 
Apparently someone made a report that they brought a guy into the room. In the video, the officers could be seen checking their identification cards.
Also, a police car with the lights ominously spinning was parked at the front of the house, as though some terrible crime had been committed. 
The video has since sparked condemnation towards the religious officers, where some claimed that they were either hypocrites or overzealous.
“It is so bothersome to knock on people’s door in the dead of the night. On the other hand, these people watch pornography,” claims @ajim_8.
Netizen @sundalela23 wondered if these three uncles were from the religious department since they looked like they had just finished a session at the Mamak stall and decided to attack the home of the young girls.

@syaz_bay further warned that in many cases, these are robbers or thieves who knocked on people’s doors, pretending to be the authorities.

Then there was @jaksrmd suggesting that the girls make a report to the police. 

“If the religious department does not want to expose the person who made the complaint, then sue the religious department,” he said, adding that there are rules and regulations that need to be adhered to when fulfilling one’s job and responsibilities as the agency.
“These randy casanovas just want to see the ladies exposed so they make up the excuse to spot check,” said @TikamLompa.
Also, @syanazry pointed out that the religious officers are quick to do their work with such matters, but when it comes to domestic abuse they tell people to settle it themselves as it was a family matter.
@AishahMahazir_ further lamented the fact that it was the guys who come and check them. “Why are we not allowed to have a female officer to check instead,” she said. — Focus Malaysia
