Mais nafi penahanan Nik Nazmi tindakan aniaya

Selangor Islamic Affairs Council (Mais) has denied allegations that the detention of former Parliament member Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad by the Selangor Islamic Authority (Jais) on Thursday was an act of harassment or trap. Salehuddin Saidin, the council's chairman, stressed that the authority acted strictly based on a formal complaint received, in accordance with the law without manipulating the situation to ensnare anyone.

Claiming that the religious department was involved in manipulation and the like is entirely false. We also have a responsibility to investigate when a complaint is made, and we must conduct a thorough investigation, he said. Therefore, trust Jais to conduct the investigation as soon as possible, and if clear evidence is found, we will file a lawsuit in court, he added when addressing the Selangor State Teachers' Congress 2026.

In explaining the clarification to the public, Salehuddin stated that this was done to provide clarity that syariah law is enforced fairly, regardless of the background or influence of the individual being investigated. He urged the public to give Jais ample space to complete the investigative procedure and avoid any unfounded speculation that could undermine the fairness of the judicial process.

Nik Nazmi, in a statement on Instagram, confirmed that he was one of two individuals detained by Jais on Thursday for the alleged adultery charge in Petaling Jaya and was ready to cooperate with any legal proceedings.
