Tok Mat: As someone who represents Islam, Zakir Naik must show more responsibility


SEREMBAN: Controversial preacher Dr Zakir Naik must take responsibility if what he had said during a recent event in Kota Baru was seditious and could adversely affect race relations in multiracial Malaysia, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan (pic).

The Umno deputy president said Dr Zakir would need to face the process of law if he had indeed uttered seditious remarks because the freedom of speech accorded under the Federal Constitution was not absolute.
