Rais Yatim joins calls for Zakir Naik to be sent back to India


PETALING JAYA: Veteran politician Tan Sri Rais Yatim has called for controversial preacher Zakir Naik to be sent back to India.

"Before Zakir Naik lived here, we lived in harmony. Now even the Hindus are being disturbed by his comments that belittle them. Zakir is playing the role of an instigator. It is best if he is sent back to India, " the former minister said on his Twitter account on Wednesday (Aug 14).
