Perlis mufti Asri Zainul Abidin was urged to immediately provide information on an alleged cult from Korea believed to be active here.
Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said this is to enable the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) to probe the claims.
“I invite Asri to come forward and provide complete information to the authorities. He certainly has the details he referred to,” said the minister at a press conference after attending the Home Ministry’s monthly assembly in Putrajaya today.
Saifuddin said this when asked whether police had received any report regarding the alleged existence of a Korean cult movement, said to be involved in unusual and deviant claims and practices.
Recently, Asri (above) claimed on Facebook that several Muslim MPs and prominent individuals in Parliament were actively assisting the cult.
The Perlis mufti also said a briefing on the matter had been presented at the Perlis state fatwa committee meeting.
Saifuddin said the RMP’s Special Branch has a dedicated unit to handle deviant teachings across various religions, including monitoring the modus operandi of the groups and individuals involved.
He added that investigations can only proceed once the police receive an official report, and any action taken will be guided by existing laws.
“So I urge Dr Maza (Asri) to come forward and lodge a report. Once the report is made, we will immediately begin the investigation,” he said.
