The Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) has met with cosmetics entrepreneur Nur Sajat amidst allegations that she may be a transgender.
mStar reported that Nur Sajat, together with her parents, met Jakim’s family, social and community development division deputy director Dr Mohd Izwan Yusof and some of the department’s staff at Wisma Nur Sajat in Shah Alam on Tuesday for about an hour.
“We have found a resolution. God willing, everything went smoothly. “This resolution is to get confirmation of Sajat’s real identity,” Mohd Izwan was quoted as saying by Mstar Online.
According to Nur Sajat, the meeting was more of a “get to know each other” session.
“No hot topics were discussed during the meeting.
“My parents and I welcomed Jakim, just like how we would any other guest,” she told mStar.
However, the cosmetics entrepreneur declined to say if Jakim was able to verify her identity.
“I’m sorry. I think what we discussed should be between us and not shared with others.
“In general, our meeting was positive and hopefully there will be a resolution to this,” she was quoted saying.
Declining to elaborate, the 33-year-old reportedly said that there were people out there who were more willing to criticise rather than give words of encouragement, “so it is better if I keep quiet and do not comment further on this.”
However, she added that there might be another meeting with Jakim, and if there is one, she will share it on her Instagram account.
