When contacted by Malaysiakini, BSM chairperson Lee Min Choon said the Islamic authorities took away 321 copies of the Malay bible in 16 boxes, and of the society's staff are expected to be charged.
He added 10 other bibles in the Iban language were confiscated as well.
The 15 Jais officers were aggressive and rude when they arrived at the office at about 1pm today, and tried to force open the premises' gate, said Lee.
“We don’t know what will happen, but I guess this is something to do with the 'Allah' word fiasco.
“We asked them to show a warrant and relevant documents, but they shouted at us…We allowed them to come in eventually, rather than to create a scene there,” he said.
Lee added that he was brought to Damansara Utama police station, together with the society's secretary general reverend Simon Wong and office manager Sinclair Wong.
The trio is now waiting for the police to confirm the charges against them.
