Places of worship are specially designed for believers to perform acts of devotion, veneration or religious studies. Aside from that, it is also a sacred space for individuals to reflect on their past acts and life.
However, a video showing two men acting obscenely inside a mosque located in Banting has made recently made rounds on the Internet and is now under police investigation.

In the video, a total of three men were seen inside the prayer room. While one of them was on his knees and deep in prayer, the other two were caught fondling and kissing each other.
The men’s behaviour has since amassed over 500k views at the time of writing along with strong condemnation from netizens who slammed them for disrespecting the mosque with such obscene acts.
