The Selangor religious authorities have banned independent Muslim preacher Wan Ji Wan Hussin from giving talks in mosques and surau across the state, just months after he was charged under the Sedition Act for criticising the Sultan of Selangor.
‎According to a circular issued by the director of the Selangor Islamic Religious ‎Department (Jais), the ban was enforced on the grounds that Wan Ji did not have the accreditation or permit to teach religion.
"This department prohibits Wan Ji Wan Hussin from teaching or speaking anywhere as he does not have the accreditation to teach or speak," states the letter, signed by Jais director Ahmad Zaharin Mohd Saad.
In the ‎letter, titled "Circular prohibiting invitations to Wan Ji bin Wan Hussin to speak in mosques/surau in Selangor", Jais said the preacher must gain accreditation before he could teach Islam.
‎"Any individual who teaches Islam or topics related to Islam without accreditation under Section 118 is committing an offence and if convicted, can be fined not more than RM3,000 or imprisoned for two years or both," it said.
Wan Ji, 32, was arrested at his home in Shah Alam about 2am on September 10 under the Sedition Act and brought to the Selangor police headquarters in Shah Alam.
He was previously reported to have issued several controversial statements on Islam and royalty.
Before Jais stepped in, several mosques and surau managed by quarters unhappy with his apparently liberal stance had already begun taking action against him by cancelling his talks and not allowing him to teach.
