KUALA LUMPUR – The woman who ignited a “firestorm” following her recent performance at the Crackhouse Comedy Club will soon be charged at the shariah court here.
Siti Nuramira Abdullah, 26, who was charged at the sessions court two days ago, had claimed trial after being accused of insulting Islam during an open mic skit where she claimed to be a Muslim and to have memorised 15 chapters of the Quran before stripping off her headscarf and baju kurung.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary confirmed the matter with Getaran, The Vibes’ sister portal.
However, he did not disclose the date that she will be brought to the shariah court.
“We will take action based on the laws we have. The government will not compromise with any action that insults religion and threatens racial harmony and unity,” he said
He said Siti Nuramira will be charged under Section 7 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Federal Territories) Act 1997.
The Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department has also conducted a preliminary investigation into the video, with its director Datuk Mohd Ajib Ismail saying that the probe had been carried out by Jawi’s enforcement division.
It was reported yesterday that Crackhouse Comedy Club co-founder Rizal van Geyzel is being investigated under the Sedition Act 1948 and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. – The Vibes, July 15, 2022
