SHAH ALAM:
Police have confirmed that the controversial eHati marriage motivation programme held last year featured an activity involving nudity.

Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the nudity-related acts took place during the “Queens Night” segment on the final day of the programme, held from Sept 27 to 30, 2024.

“There were two packages offered as part of the programme – Package A, priced at about RM6,000, and Package B, at about RM9,000, which included the Queens Night,” he told a press conference at the state police headquarters here today.

This follows claims by a Facebook user alleging that a female speaker, initially dressed in a bikini, had stripped naked and danced with participants during the event’s final night.

They allegedly encouraged participants to follow suit, and remove their clothes after giving them a “mysterious” drink.

Hussein urged those involved in the programme to come forward and give their statements.

He said six people have been arrested so far, comprising four women and two men, including two married couples.

Police also seized several items, including liquids, as part of their investigation.

Statements have also been recorded from 30 people, including the event’s organisers and participants.

Yesterday, police arrested Diyana Tahir and Rahim Shukor, the founders of eHati International Sdn Bhd, and raided their home after they gave their statements at the police headquarters.

The couple previously denied promoting obscene acts and insulting behaviour in their eHati marriage motivation programme, saying the activities were aligned with Islamic values.

Police are investigating the programme under criminal laws covering obscene acts, modesty, and public decency.
