SINGAPORE – He went to a mosque with the intention of praying, but ended up undressing himself repeatedly despite attempts by staff members to dress him.
Djamaludin Supadi, 53, also misused a “kentong”, a percussion instrument used in calling prayers, and damaged it.
The Singaporean was jailed for six months on Monday (May 11) after pleading guilty to one count of public nuisance, using abusive language and assaulting a public servant, and having two folding knives and three razor sheaths in his possession. .
Djamaludin visited the Darul Aman Mosque on Blk 1 Jln Eunos on May 3 with the intention of praying. He entered the prayer room around 5.38 p.m. after claiming to have seen an angel known as “Jibrail” and to feel “extreme power”. He had also taken “powerful” pills that he bought from Geylang before entering the mosque.
While on the ground, Djamaludin rolled on the ground before standing up, undressing and lying on the ground again. She was wearing her underwear a while later.
An operations and facilities officer at the mosque was “alerted to the presence of a naked man in the mosque by an imam (leader of the mosque),” said Deputy Prosecutor Lu Yiwei.
Djamaludin then went to the bathroom with the officer who followed him and asked him to get dressed. However, Djamaludin only apologized. Later, a pareo was found for Djamaludin, who dressed and undressed again.
At approximately 5.41 p.m., a man called police saying a man was running naked through the mosque. The police received a second call, more than 10 minutes later, from a member of the public who said, “I have a naked Malaysian man opening everything. I also see that I cannot bear it.
Meanwhile, the officer tried to get Djamaludin, who by then was wearing his pants, to wear his clothes. Since Djamaludin wanted to remove his pants, the officer clung firmly to Djamaludin’s waist to prevent him from doing so.
However, Djamaludin still removed his pants and underwear. Then the officer dressed Djamaludin in the sarong and took him to sit on a bench.
Instead, Djamaludin took off his sarong and wanted to go completely naked. The officer and his colleague placed the sarong over Djamaludin’s private parts until the police arrived.
After the police arrived at approximately 6 p.m., Djamaludin hit a police officer in the ribs and yelled vulgarities at him. He fought when he was arrested. Djamaludin was later found with the two folding knives and three razor refill cases in his possession.
Djamaludin claimed that the weapons were used for his previous job as a kitchen assistant, but his previous employer said the items were not used in the kitchen.
Sentencing Djamaludin on Monday, District Judge Marvin Bay said the man’s actions “amount to a prolonged and aggravated disturbance of a place of worship.”
