Marhamah sedia letak jawatan jika terbukti sesatkan orang

The Assistant Minister for Religious Harmony and Welfare, Marhamah Rosli, vowed to resign if it is proven that he misled people by associating him with the spread of practices such as cave worship, witchcraft, azimat and New Age Movement beliefs. He also challenged anyone making the accusation to appear in court and present evidence.

Rosli only resorted to resigning when he is proven to have truly misled people, and there are actually people misled by him. He clarified that only after proving it in court. Speaking after praying the Hi-Tea Together With Friends of the Wakaf Institute of Islamic Understanding, he added that he cannot emphasize more. Pray that Allah protects us all.

On September 18th last year, Marhamah denied the accusation of spreading cave worship, witchcraft, azimat and New Age Movement beliefs, and gave a 24-hour window to media outlets or those spreading the accusation to retract, apologize. His office reportedly stated that a video of Marhamah dated September 20th 2019 became the point of contention made in the context of human development, not support or endorsement of the general views, beliefs or practices referred to.

Rosli categorically denied ever teaching, attending classes, meeting or communicating directly with individuals implicated, apart from denying that he ever taught, promoted or spread the alleged practice. Yesterday, Jakim Chief Executive Officer Sirajuddin Suhaimee was reportedly conducting a comprehensive investigation, including meetings and questioning with Marhamah, involving the Federal Wilayah Mufti, the Academic Panel of Jakim and related parties.
