Marhamah sedia letak jawatan jika terbukti sesatkan orang

Malaysian Deputy Chief Minister for Religious Affairs, Marhamah Rosli, vowed to resign if proven to have misled people with his involvement in New Age Movement teachings. The MP claims he will only resign when proven guilty and when there is concrete evidence presented in court. Rosli, after praying for a Hi-Tea Together with the Friends of the Wakaf Institute of Islamic Knowledge, addressed his meeting with the Malaysia Islamic Development Department (Jakim).

He stressed that the agency had issued a statement regarding the matter. Rosli refused to comment further and implored for Allah's protection on everyone. On September 18, Marhamah denied the accusations of spreading practices like underground worship, witchcraft, azimat, and New Age Movement beliefs, giving the media 24 hours to retract the claim and apologize.

The office reported that a video of Marhamah on September 20, 2019, became the point of contention in the context of human development, not supporting or acknowledging the views, teachings, or practices of the individuals referenced. He firmly stated that he never taught, attended classes, met or interacted with individuals directly, apart from denying that he has ever taught, promoted, or spread any alleged practices.

Earlier, Jakim's Deputy Director, Sirajuddin Suhaimee, reported conducting a thorough investigation, including meetings and questioning with Marhamah to obtain direct explanations, which also involved the Federal Wilayah Mufti, the Panel of Experts in Islamic Jurisprudence, and relevant parties.
