Several people have been evicted from
their homes in government quarters under a campaign launched early this year to
rid the country's administrative capital Putrajaya of activities deemed immoral
under Malaysian Islamic laws, the New Straits Times reported. Che Mat Che Ali,
director of the Federal Territory Islamic Affairs Department, said the measure
was introduced under the campaign "Toward Zero Immoral Activities in
Putrajaya 2010." "It may seem harsh but we want the people of Putrajaya
to know that we take this matter seriously,» he was quoted as saying. He said
those caught by the morality police were hauled up in court and then asked to
move out. Che Mat or other department officials could not immediately be
reached.
