MELAKA: Malaysia has the right not to extradite controversial Indian preacher Dr Zakir Naik if he is not going to be accorded fair justice, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The Prime Minister likened this with Australia not extraditing Sirul Azhar Umar, the former bodyguard who was sentenced to death in 2015 for the murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu, to Malaysia.
