  "account": "Selangor's Islamic religious department (Jais) has urged for the immediate removal of social media posts related to Aliff Daniel Adli. This directive came after the 21-year-old, alongside his mother Rohizayanti Ramli and younger sister Nur Ranea Ezreen, participated in a temple ritual at Batu Caves in 2024. Aliff Daniel pleaded guilty to the charge of wrongful worship, which led to his sentencing and a three-month faith rehabilitation period. On November 5, the trio publicly acknowledged their repentance during a ceremony attended by three witnesses. Jais director Shahzihan Ahmad made the recommendation, emphasizing the importance of supporting Aliff Daniel and his family, who had taken steps to distance themselves from the incident. His statement highlighted the need to show charity towards one another and safeguard the dignity of fellow Muslims, all while promoting an environment that fosters the overall well-being of the community.",
  "summary": "Jais says the man and his family should be allowed to practise Islam without a digital footprint that portrays them in a negative light.",
