Picture‑Perfect Panic: Entrepreneur’s Snap Gets Misinformed
When a local businesswoman stumbled upon a photo of her circulating on social media, she didn’t expect it to belong to the very “prophet” that The Straits Times just exposed.
Who’s the “prophet”?
The story published on 9 Nov showcases a former massage therapist who claimed divine powers. He allegedly called himself a prophet, set dubious rules—like allowing gambling to help the needy—and even took on five spiritual wives, sparking marital drama among those involved.
How the snap got tangled
- Photo taken last year while she was volunteering at a charity bake‑sale.
- Now trending as proof of the self‑styled prophet’s alleged “divine” antics.
Her next move
Fearing that her innocent snapshot could be misread as an association with the controversial figure, she lodged a police report on 10 Nov. She wants the image out of the mix and a clear statement that she’s not the prophet’s “puppet.”
In a world where one wrong click can turn a simple dish‑slick photo into a viral political punchline, she’s hoping the authorities clear up the mix‑up before her baking skills get rerouted to a shenanigan‑filled pamphlet.
Unpacking the Allegations: A Quick Guide
What really happened?
- The woman claims she has nothing to do with the controversial figure highlighted by the Straits Times.
- She sparked a Facebook post declaring she’ll sue anyone accusing her.
- The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) is back on the case, even after a 2018 warning.
- They’ve emphasized the man isn’t registered under the Asatizah Registration Scheme—in short, he’s not a recognized preacher.
Why Does It Matter?
Muis points out that running a religious school without official registration is a breach of law. The council warns that practices like claiming “spiritual wives,” betting to help peers, and self‑proclaiming as a prophet are a far cry from real Islamic teachings. They’re on the lookout for anyone who can help with the investigation, so if you’ve got intel, now’s the time to step forward.
Next Steps
Official statements will keep coming: Muis is doing its due diligence. For those following from the sidelines, keep an eye on aghighed posts, especially this one: MUIS.SG (link embedded on their page).
