Police have issued an arrest warrant for the founder of a controversial marriage motivation programme called eHati.
Selangor police chief Shazeli Kahar said the individual was one of two people wanted by the cops for failing to turn up in court to be charged.
He added that the cops were in the midst of tracking them down but could not disclose their leads, Sinar Harian reported.
It is understood that the two were supposed to be charged on Oct 14, alongside a couple who was arraigned over the organising of an eHati programme last year.
Shazifh Osman, 38, and Munira Hishamshah, 37, both aesthetic doctors, claimed trial to unlawfully conducting activities reserved for registered counsellors at a convention centre in September 2024.
The charge under Section 22(1)(a) of the Counsellors Act 1998 is punishable by up to three years’ imprisonment, a fine of up to RM30,000, or both, upon conviction.
Police quizzed 95 people over the eHati programmes, which were targeted at a Malay audience.
According to a Facebook user, the event’s final day saw a female speaker in a bikini strip naked and dance with members of her group.
Police confirmed that the eHati event featured an activity involving nudity, particularly during a segment on the final day of the programme.
