PETALING JAYA: Vocal activist Siti Zabedah Kasim has warned Jamil Khir Baharom of legal action after the minister’s remarks linking her to those who make statements against Islam.
Jamil, responding to a question by a participant at a convention themed “Empowering the Ummah Agenda 3.0” yesterday, had said that Siti was being investigated by the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department.
“An investigation paper has been opened and the person concerned has been summoned,” Jamil, the minister in charge of Islamic affairs, was quoted as saying by a Bernama report.
Taking to Facebook, Siti today said Jamil should immediately “cease and desist” from issuing slanderous statements.
“The Minister can be assured that he will be receiving a letter from me soon,” she said.
Siti was charged last July with obstructing a Jawi officer during a raid at a transgender event last year.
