Raising the dead - a Jais problem?

Dei kawan, this is real serious stuff! A case of raising the dead!

Paranormal investigator Syed Abdullah Al-Attas wanted to sue the exhibitors of Mysteries, Genies, Ghosts and Coffins exhibition at the Sultan Alam Shah Museum. He said those exhibitors have breached their promise to show authentic displays of ghouls and supernatural beings. He's still waiting for that to happen.

So Safuan Abu Bakar, a Kluang-based religious teacher who owns the exhibits, was, shall we say, provoked into boasting he would bring some of the exhibits back to life to prove that they were genuine. But in doing so, he's now in trouble with the religious department.

Jais, Selangor religious authorities now want to meet Safuan for what it believes to be Safuan’s dabbling in witchcraft and sorcery, which is against Islamic teaching. Hmmm, I wonder what's the Quranic punishment? In ye olde England the Church either burned those accused at the stake or drowned them in the village pond.

Well, if Safuan needs a defence attorney, I might just volunteer. My line of defence will be that Jais itself practises such sorcery, that of bring the dead to life, so what's the big deal with someone else doing it.

I will recall for Jais the case of one of its enforcement officers, 21-year old Muhamad Hafiz Kanimon who demonstrated so-called sorcery by 'raising' his somewhat 'dead' item back to life, though admittedly with the help, unwilling help as it was, of one unfortunate woman caught by him for khalwat (illegal close proximity for Muslims).

The unfortunate woman had gone to Jais office in Gombak the day after her embarrassing encounter with Jais, in a vain hope to 'settle' the case amicably. However, she claimed she got more than she bargained for.

She was molested and forced to perform oral sex on Muhamad as an inducement to let her off the hook. That's when it was believed Muhamad’s dead thingy had immediately sprang to life. She also alleged Muhamad used criminal force to outrage her modesty by caressing her breasts and kissing her on the lips.

Well, what can we say about this Zouk-ish phenomenon, Jais? Have we been dead right? Shall the defence now rest?
