  "account": "PETALING JAYA: Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad admitted to being the sole individual and one woman present at the location when Jais officials arrived. On October 15th, the former Minister of Rural Development and Environment confirmed he was one of two individuals detained by the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) in regards to a closed event. He stated the meeting's purpose was to discuss potential collaborations with colleagues. Nik Nazmi emphasized that he did not wish to prolong the issue, merely stating that he and his colleagues began discussions at their studio in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, and subsequently decided to continue at Petaling Jaya to view relevant project materials. In his statement, he admitted only to a mistake and apologized to his wife, family, and all parties affected by the misunderstanding. Nik Nazmi also pledged to cooperate in any legal proceedings. Additionally, he expressed regret to Bersatu for disappointing its members and supporters, and stated his willingness to accept whatever decision the party makes concerning the matter. He hoped all parties would respect the legal process and refrain from prolonging discussions about the issue through the media.",
