SELANGOR police have launched a full investigation into the controversial eHATI Love Intensive programme, now being probed under three separate legal provisions following initial enquiries into allegations of inappropriate content and potentially deviant teachings.

Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan confirmed that a Police Inquiry Paper (KEP) had been opened and has since been elevated to a full investigation file.

The probe, he said, is being conducted under Section 294 and Section 509 of the Penal Code, as well as Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955.

“The investigation is being carried out thoroughly to determine the existence of any obscene elements or teachings that deviate from societal norms, as alleged,” Hussein said in an official statement issued on Monday.

“The investigation will be comprehensive to ensure that every aspect and allegation is fairly assessed,” he added.

As part of the process, police will summon all participants of the programme to provide statements under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Hussein also advised the public to exercise caution when participating in workshops or programmes whose purpose and organisers are unclear.

“The public is encouraged to make proper checks and seek references before joining any event, to avoid involvement in activities that contravene the law or moral values,” he said.

Earlier, Buletin TV3 reporters observed that the main office of the company responsible for organising the programme was closed, although employees were reportedly continuing their work remotely.

When contacted, a company representative stated that operations are being conducted from home and that they are currently observing legal procedures before issuing any statement.

“We are working from home for now. At this stage, we have not made any public comment as we are complying with legal procedures,” the representative told TV3.

The spokesperson also maintained that the company is ready to fully cooperate with the authorities and denied all circulating allegations.

“All of it is slander. I’ve worked here for a long time and what’s being spread is not true. Let the police complete their investigation,” the representative added.

The programme, allegedly run by a husband-and-wife team, was previously reported in the media for allegedly targeting working women facing marital issues and promoting teachings some have described as misleading or harmful. - July 14, 2025
