KOTA KINABALU – The police have identified individuals involved in a deviant group known as Perjalanan Mimpi Yang Terakhir (PMYT).
Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said the police are closely monitoring the matter to ensure it does not cause public anxiety.
He said the police cannot rush any aspect of their investigation as complete information is needed to be gathered from various parties, including Islamic religious bodies.
“We have our own ways and techniques of dealing with this matter because we have faced these kinds of issues in the past and successfully tackled them… the police are constantly monitoring the matter,” he told a press conference after witnessing the handing over of duties of the Sabah police commissioner here today.
At the ceremony, Datuk Hazani Ghazali, who was appointed Bukit Aman Department of Internal Security and Public Order director effective next Monday, handed over his duties as Sabah police commissioner to Datuk Idris Abdullah.
A woman by the name Sittah Annur, believed to be PMYT leader, recently went viral with claims that World War 3 will begin in Sabah and that she would lead her team to find Imam Mahdi to fight the enemy.
Meanwhile, Hazani said no PMYT followers have been detected in Sabah so far, adding the group is found to be active in the peninsula.
“There are claims that PMYT has 3,000 members in the country but they are actually following the group on its social media accounts, such as Facebook,” he said. – Bernama, September 2, 2021
