Covert conversion of minors: cops probing Firdaus Wong over alleged incitement

Lawyers confirm investigation opened under Section 505(c) over his ‘advice’ on how to practise Islam discreetly, which can result in up to two years' jail, fine

KUALA LUMPUR – Police are investigating controversial preacher Firdaus Wong for incitement after he appeared in a video providing advice on how minors can covertly convert to Islam. 

According to lawyers Rajesh Nagarajan and Sachpreetaj Singh, police are conducting investigations based on a report filed by their client Arun Dorasamy at the Petaling Jaya police headquarters. 

“We are pleased to inform the public that police have finally opened an investigation file against Firdaus under Section 505(c) of the Penal Code. 

“We hope that justice will be served and that Firdaus will be charged and convicted for his crimes against society,” the lawyers said in a statement today. 

Section 505(c) covers the offence of public mischief and anyone found guilty can be punished with up to two years’ imprisonment and a fine. 

Earlier this month, a viral TikTok video featured Firdaus providing advice to another person on how to informally convert minors to Islam without the knowledge of their families. 

Responding to the backlash following the release of the video, Firdaus told Scoop that the attacks against him were hypocritical, noting that children convert to other religions as well, and public anger arises only when Islam is involved. 

At a press conference on 11 June, activist Arun Dorasamy hinted that police are investigating the matter and will arrest Firdaus. – June 25, 2024
