MALACCA, Malaysia - Two government employees are among eight
couples detained in a Valentine's Day operation by the Malacca Islamic
Religious Department (JAIM) at four hotels in Melaka Tengah here today.
JAIM Enforcement Division assistant director Zurul Iman Zakaria said
one of them, a soldier, aged 36, was detained on suspicion of committing
khalwat (close proximity) with a 23-year-old college student in a hotel
room in Malim Jaya here about 12.15 am.
- The other, a 30-year-old Public Works Department employee, was detained for khalwat with a woman, aged 30, in a hotel room in Cheng here about 12.50 am, he added.
He said the two couples, as well as six other couples, aged between
20 and 37, were then taken to the JAIM office for further investigation.
In a related development, Zurul Iman said JAIM would lodge a report
with the Melaka Historical City Council for action to be taken against a
hotel in Peringgit for allegedly providing condoms to its guests.
Action should be taken because the act is seen like encouraging vice activities in the state,
he added.
