KUALA LUMPUR – The Prime Minister’s Department will in no way intervene in a case of allegations of moral misconduct involving a senior shariah judge.

Its religious affairs minister Idris Ahmad said the matter was handed to police to investigate.

“The Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) will not interfere in the jurisdiction of the police and the law that is in force,” he said in a statement here tonight.

Idris also urged all parties to leave the matter to the authorities to conduct a detailed and transparent investigation.

“It will give justice to all parties involved in this issue. Any statements that could interfere with the investigation should be stopped,” he stressed.
