KANGAR: Controversial preacher Zakir Naik (pic) will not be speaking from the stage in Perlis as the police will not allow him to speak at the "Malaysia Reverts Camp 2019".
Perlis police chief SAC Noor Mushar Mohd said Friday (Aug 16) that in view of the 150 police reports lodged against Zakir Naik, it would be best if the controversial preacher and his family steered clear of the event.
"Zakir can come to Perlis, but he can't talk and action will be taken against him if he does so, " SAC Noor Mushar said at a press conference at the Perlis police headquarters here Friday.
Noor Mushar also said if Zakir wants to give talks in the future, a ten-day notice must be given, including the subject of his talk.
"We are a multi-racial country and the sensitivities of others have to be taken into consideration, " he said.
