A SENIOR leader of a political party was arrested for khalwat with a woman by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) on Thursday.
According to reports in Astro Awani, a source said the 44-year-old leader was apprehended at about 6 pm at a residence in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
"A five-member enforcement team from JAIS arrived and entered the residence. At the time of the raid, the leader and the woman in question were inside the house," said the source.
JAIS took both individuals to its Shah Alam office for documentation.
The identity of the political leader has not yet been disclosed, nor has the party he represents or his specific position within that party’s leadership.
At this stage, it remains unclear whether the individual holds a position at the central or state level, or whether he serves as an elected representative. – October 16, 2026
