Tapah Islamic Office’s Letter On Orang Asli Joget Lambak Incurs Social Media Wrath

Recently, the Islamic Religious Administration Office in Tapah, Perak made claims that Joget Lambak events at an Orang Asli village sell alcohol, engage in unlawful sexual activities, and practice ancestor worship in a letter dated 5 October 2024.

In the letter that went viral on Twitter, they instructed all village chiefs in the district to forbid Malay people to attend Joget Lambak events there, and their reasons:

Paragraph 3.1 – Joget lambak is a customary ceremony which involves the worshipping of ancestors so the event goes smoothly. Ancestor worship and polytheism is forbidden in Islam.

Paragraph 3.2 – The event sells illicit products that are not halal, primarily alcohol.

Paragraph 3.3 – The act of lewd behaviour between men and women involving physical touch such as holding hands and hugging out of wedlock.

Paragraph 3.4 – Possibility of unlawful sexual intercourse between men and women after the event.

Netizens have called the letter disrespectful towards Orang Asli, and expressed their anger in the comments section.

Malaysiakini reported that they confirmed the legitimacy of the letter circulating on social media with the department concerned.

Kampung Chang Lama Village Chief Dahil Yok Chopil has dismissed the claims and said that Joget Lambak is usually held to celebrate birthdays, weddings, and thanksgiving events.

Dahil said he did not receive the letter and the Joget Lambak event is by invitation only. He also stated that the organisers would usually check attendees to make sure they don’t bring in any alcohol.

“If we do find alcohol on a person, we will settle the issue amongst ourselves”, Dahil said.

“We don’t allow uninvited people in because sometimes people from the city would bring drugs and cause trouble here”

“We also don’t invite Malay people to join joget lambak. It is only by invitation and if anyone does turn up uninvited, we will ask them to leave”, he continued.

Regarding the allegations of illicit intercourse, Dahil said it very rarely happens during these events.

Joget Lambak is a type of joget (dance) which is common in Malaysia and is usually performed by a large crowd together at social events.

sos

jangan masuk campur urusan orang lain la. haduiii.

These taliban nothing better to do than campur tangan Hal orang lain?

If it is in their traditional custom, let them be.

Stop being busy body with orang asli tradition and investigate how GISBH can go under the radar for so long.

Whole kampung is Muslim ??


Normally just Tok Batin and family are muslim

First day knowing Taliban?

brightened up, and lol at the opening sentence "sukacita".

These sort of letters should be circulated to the Muslims in the area instead of the organizer.

Maybe is time for Malays to return to the Asli ways

Its because big name in GISB

No way it escape for long without kabel besaaaaaaaar

Orang Asli also they dare to interfere ? Bumi ini milik siapa ?

But but don't they wanna holy war against deviants????

Look cool per....

can confirm. went to walk to the surau at my condo and this is the EXACT response from them.
ayam asked la maybe for the last one can we like lower it down by a little bit cause everyone was home and got baby, then give cant control la (PA system is set there, only human factor left which they claimed cant control their volume). while they keep on their seat insisting we the other resident dont let them do azan which that is not the case. we totally let them do it but sometimes it is freaking loud and it echoes between the two condo blocks creating resonance you know.

so all in all, my way or the highway. LOL

heck when i told the surau guy im from swak, they go "you guys over there very open". i'm like, "you olang yg extreme, kita sana muhibbah saja"

MCB taliban, you the one who said don’t like other busybody about your religion. Now the native’s activities you listed down paragraph of law they might’ve or broken, whose the busybody now?

It is said that some Muslims view non-believers as less-than human. With incidents like this, it's not hard to believe it.

BMX.. bapa talibanization.. lol

Because fitnah is their culture.

Orang asli ditindas di tanah sendiri - mereka semakin beraniiiii

if i tok batin oso i will get offended and koyak the letter in front of the despatch.

what to do, they already converted almost all the orang asli to islam

leave the orang asli to their own beliefs and traditions!

archaic organization with lots of budget from my pocket

See how they interfere the real bhumi tradition...

Is time for everyone to return to the Asli ways.

We have been utterly corrupted by money. Resulting in a lot of Evil.

Definitely not the orang asli. They are not even officially bumiputra.

This

Domno? Ok. Ok.

milik tuhan,

Jibai kau tell ur own men to hold themselves lah diu.

For people who constantly demand sensitivity to their religion, this is the height of arrogance.

how'd you feel if you were the ORIGINAL true dwellers of the land.....

...later someone (declaring themselves as real inhabitants) came and supposedly lay claim on it

on top of all that, have the nerve to instruct you on how to live YOUR LIFE

one kinda camel this one

sused

kek

kecian

Uish! Terpaling suci murni in the worldlah katakan. Lol!
