MELAKA: Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron is saddened with the word "kafir" (infidel) being used in a WhatsApp message on Sunday about Klebang assemblyman Datuk Lim Ban Hong’s visit to a multi-purpose hall near a mosque in Bukit Rambai, here.  

In a statement from Mecca on Monday, Idris said Lim's visit on June 17 was only to hand over Hari Raya goodies at the multi-purpose hall and not inside the Al-Salihin mosque as claimed by the message sender.
