‘That is not our job’: Amirudin rejects claims PKR plotted khalwat trap

PKR vice-president Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has dismissed allegations that the party organized a khalwat case involving former minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad to discredit a political opponent.

Denying any involvement, Amirudin, who is also the Selangor menteri besar, emphasized that PKR has not engaged in schemes to trap political adversaries, highlighting instead the party's focus on more pressing matters.

This statement comes after the detention of two individuals by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department for a suspected khalwat offence, which Nik Nazmi acknowledged and apologized for, leading to his three-month suspension from Parti Bersama Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 — PKR vice-president Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari today denied allegations that the party orchestrated a khalwat case involving former minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad to undermine a political rival.

Amirudin, who is also Selangor menteri besar, said PKR had never discussed or arranged any plan, privately or publicly, to entrap political opponents, news outlet Harian Metro reported.

“We have many other things to do than arrange khalwat cases.

“That is not our job,” he told reporters after launching the Semarak Kasih Yayasan Selangor 2026 programme today.

He added that the party did not want personal matters to become the basis of political rivalry or debate.

Khalwat is an offence under Islamic law involving a Muslim man and woman who are not married to each other being found alone together in circumstances that may suggest improper conduct.

The allegations surfaced after the Selangor Islamic Religious Department detained two people in Petaling Jaya last Thursday to assist investigations into a suspected khalwat offence.

The department confirmed yesterday that a man and a woman had been detained at about 6pm in Petaling Jaya under Section 29 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995, but did name the people involved.

Nik Nazmi, a PKR member for almost 21 years till his exit in May, confirmed publicly earlier today that he was one of two people detained and apologised to his wife, family and his current party over what he described as a lapse in judgement.

Parti Bersama Malaysia has since announced that its 44-year-old co-founder is to be suspended three months from October 20 following the khalwat scandal.

公正党副主席拿督斯里阿米鲁丁沙里驳斥了有关该党组织涉及前部长尼克纳兹米尼克艾哈迈德的 khalwat 案件以抹黑政治对手的指控。

阿米鲁丁否认参与此事，他同时也是雪兰莪州务大臣，并强调人民公正党没有参与任何陷害政治对手的阴谋，而是将注意力集中在更紧迫的问题上。

此前，雪兰莪伊斯兰宗教部门拘留了两名涉嫌违反伊斯兰教法的人士，尼克·纳兹米承认并为此道歉，导致他被马来西亚团结党停职三个月。

吉隆坡，10 月 17 日 — 公正党副主席拿督斯里阿米鲁丁沙里今天否认有关该党精心策划涉及前部长尼克纳兹米尼克艾哈迈德的 khalwat 案件以破坏政治对手的指控。

据《每日都会报》报道，雪兰莪州务大臣阿米鲁丁表示，人民公正党从未私下或公开讨论或安排过任何陷害政治对手的计划。

“我们还有很多其他事情要做，而不是处理谋杀案件。”

“那不是我们的工作，”他在今天启动 Semarak Kasih Yayasan Selangor 2026 计划后告诉记者。

他还补充说，该党不希望个人事务成为政治竞争或辩论的基础。

根据伊斯兰教法，Khalwat 是一种违法行为，指未婚的穆斯林男女单独相处，且在可能暗示行为不端的情况下被发现。

雪兰莪伊斯兰宗教部门上周四在八打灵再也拘留了两人，以协助调查一起涉嫌违反伊斯兰教法的案件，随后这些指控浮出水面。

该部门昨天证实，一名男子和一名女子于下午6点左右在八打灵再也根据1995年雪兰莪州伊斯兰教法刑事罪行法令第29条被拘留，但没有透露涉案人员的姓名。

尼克·纳兹米曾是人民公正党成员近21年，直到今年5月退出该党。他今天早些时候公开证实，自己是两名被拘留者之一，并就他所称的判断失误向妻子、家人和现在的政党道歉。

马来西亚团结党（Parti Bersama Malaysia）随后宣布，其 44 岁的联合创始人因“khalwat”丑闻将于 10 月 20 日起被停职三个月。
