HARIAN Metro reported the emergence of a VCD showing a mustachioed “singer” getting cosy with three young women wearing hijab (Islamic headscarf).
The paper said the contents might be linked to the banned Azhar Wahab sect, deemed a deviant group by religious authorities.
It reported that the five-song VCD was being sold for RM20 each by students of religious schools at various highway rest stops in the Klang Valley, allegedly to raise funds for their schools.
It said the “singer” in the VCD was the founder of the Azhar Wahab sect, adding that the young women were attired in tight clothing and headscarves that did little to conceal their necks.
The paper said the intimate portrayal of the quartet, not to mention the women's leopard print leggings and thin lace blouses, appeared to promote relations between unmarried men and women.
> Kosmo! reported that more than a dozen copies of the Quran were found at a rubbish dump in Jerantut, Pahang.
The daily said 15 copies of the holy book, along with a collection of other religious reference material, were found in a sack at the dumping zone of an industrial area.
The chief imam of Masjid Tengku Mahkota Abdullah Nurunnaim Daud was disappointed that the holy books were treated without respect.
He advised those doing cleaning-up work in a house to separate the Quran and books with jawi script before disposing the rubbish.
