Home Ministry: Zakir Naik's Malaysian PR status will not be reviewed


KUALA LUMPUR: The permanent resident (PR) status granted to controversial Muslim preacher Dr Zakir Naik will not be reviewed, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic).

"As long as he does not breach any laws or commit an offence, there is no reason for a review," said the Home Minister when wrapping up his ministerial reply on Budget 2018 in the Dewan Rakyat Wednesday.
