KUALA LUMPUR: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa yesterday held a meeting with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) over an issue involving controversial entrepreneur, Muhammad Sajad Kamaruzzaman in Makkah.

In a statement yesterday, Mujahid said the meeting with MCMC was held so that prompt action could be taken following the uploading of numerous photos and video by Muhammad Sajad, who wore the clothes of women umrah pilgrims which was viralled on the social media.         

‘’I will take firm steps over the action of Muhammad Sajad Kamaruzzaman who uploaded photos and video of him wearing women’s prayer garments when in Makkah which was viralled on the social media and led rise to discomfort among Muslims.

“Immediate action will be taken by MCMC,’’ he said, after holding the meeting at his office at the Islamic Complex in Putrajaya.

He also said that the agency had the power to block contents that create unease especially to Muslims.

Meanwhile, Mujahid also had a meeting with the haj tourism agency Albayt Travel (M) Sdn Bhd, which handled Muhammad Sajad and his family’s trip to the holy land, to determine the actual situation that transpired in Makkah.

After discussions with the agency, Mujahid said Sajad must perform the minor haj as a man based on the haj muzakarah (discussion) ruling concerning the performing of minor haj involving the mukhannas (hermaphrodite/transsexual) group.
