[AsianJunkie] The 3 Malaysian Girls who got caught hugging B1A4's Baro will not be arrested

[Jeffrey Jung]

The three Malaysian fangirls of B1A4, who dared to touch them, are no longer in danger of going to prison over it, as the threatened arrest warrant will not be issued.

 

The Federal Territories Islamic Department (JAWI) has admitted it cannot pursue the three Malay girls shown embracing Korean pop stars in a recent viral video, despite previously saying it would seek their arrests for public indecency.

 

JAWI director Paimuzi Yahya confirmed today that the girls have not turned themselves in as directed and that the religious authority’s one-week deadline for them to do so has since lapsed.

 

“There is nothing we (JAWI) can do. Nothing.

 

“If they turn up, we can give them advice. But if they don’t, and for now, they have not turned up, we cannot do anything,†he told Malay Mail Online when contacted here.

 

Paimuzi also conceded that JAWI has no legal authority to compel the girls, who remain unidentified, to come forward to aid in the department’s investigation.

 

“They have not come here, so we feel that perhaps they (the girls) have been advised by other people,†the JAWI official added.

 

Obviously they and K-pop as a whole were in real danger, because the super-duper scary ‘Malay warriors’ were after them, but thankfully either cooler heads prevailed after throngs of people called them ridiculous … or they were just grandstanding to begin with.

Unfortunately, a lot of public backlash against the trio, B1A4, and K-pop was still real, and since the latter two don’t really have to deal with it on a daily basis, I’m just hoping the three girls won’t have to face anything worse than they’ve already dealt with.

Talk about ruining a moment for them.

well i mean... that's good

[YUGYUM!♥]

good for them

[GVK]

Good! Justice served kinda

They'll remember this for the rest of their lives. Poor girls, traumatized by such silly beliefs. This whole fiasco may have affected their behaviors towards not only kpop, but also their respective social circles, male peers, and their views of society in general.

Good.  I hope they never turn themselves in and their identities are never revealed because although they probably won't go to jail, revealing their identities will only get them hate in their every day lives from people who think like those trying to prosecute them do.

i called it from the start. there's nothing much that JAWI can do anyway with the lil power syariah court has in malaysia

[ingenting]

That's a relief. They must've known all along that they had no legal authority to arrest them and was just using that as a threat to make them come forward, fucking assholes. I hope the girls are all doing ok.

Those girls are smart. They did nothing wrong for them to be arrested and everything. Its seriously ridiculous how much hate they got over a damn hug. Theres a singer in Malaysia I think who wears a headscarf singing, dancing and wearing tight clothes, nobody says anything to her but suddenly they turn around and point fingers at others. Everyone has a choice, its not up to everyone to decide how they live their life.

[Shinee Spazzer]

Told yaa!!! I knew about the law in my country~

 

next time don't trust anything you read on internet!

[Midnight~Circus]

Thank God.

 

It seemed quite odd that something so trivial would cause such an uproar. I figured Malaysia's main judicial branch had nothing to do with it. The warrant for their arrests was blown out of porportion by the internet because they listened to a few strict religioius conservatives with little to no power. Go figure.

This. I'm happy for them, but this scare will probably haunt their emotions for a long time.

[reVel]

They're never going to touch a man ever in their lives again. Poor girls

[CasualListener]

Well duh. No one really expects them to be arrested in the first place.

[Kinn]

You go girls!!!!

[invisiblecc]

Poor girls. What's so bad about a hug?
