SHAH ALAM, JUL 24: Residents of Jalan Kebun were advised to continue with their daily activities and avoid superstitious acts.
Seri Muda Assemblyman Shuhaimi Shafiei said the community in the area must reject superstitious beliefs that are against Islamic teachings.
“I don’t deny the fact that there are supernatural beings as mentioned in the Al-Quran.
“However as Muslims, let us reject superstitions and continue with our daily activities,” he said to SelangorKini.
Shuhaimi also advised the public to cooperate with the Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) should any suspicious matters arise.
JAIS gave a firm warning that action will be taken against those found to be worshipping at graveyards due to claims of ghosts found in several areas around Jalan Kebun.
Previously, a 20-second amateur video showed a ghostly figure standing upright as if observing a group of youth who were capturing its image.
The video was found to have captured 103,096 views before it was removed by the administrator of the Facebook group.
The existence of ghosts in Kampung Jalan Kebun that has gone viral on Facebook is nothing but fictitious.
Village head Mohd Salehan Tahir said the allegations on Facebook were untrue.
“The story was fabricated deliberately to scare the 20,000 residents from 15 ‘kariah’ who live here,” he said.
