SAPP wants Zakir Naik banned from entering Sabah

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah should take similar steps as Sarawak to ban controversial preacher Zakir Naik from coming into the state, says opposition Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).

Three SAPP deputy presidents - Datuk Richard Yong, Edward Dagul and Japiril Suhaimin - said that the state government should make the decision to bar his entry into the state if the Federal Government decides to allow him to stay in the country.
