The Malacca Islamic Religious Council (Maim) will investigate viral claims that a woman was forced to seek shelter in a surau in Kampung Kolam Limbongan for the past four days after failing to obtain aid from the council.

State Education, Higher Education and Religious Affairs executive councillor Rahmad Mariman agreed about the seriousness of the allegations, as the religious council has various types of aid available to eligible applicants, especially those from the asnaf (underprivileged) group.
