PETALING JAYA: Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has joined three other ministers in calling for controversial preacher Zakir Naik (pic) to be deported.

The Youth and Sports Minister said “yes” when asked if he supported ministers Gobind Singh, M. Kulasegaran and Xavier Jayakumar’s call to deport Zakir for his racially and religiously charged comments.

“They are my family for God’s sake. Enough is enough, ” he told reporters on a media WhatsApp group yesterday.“Malaysia’s strength is the unity of its people. Don’t question our loyalty and togetherness. Last week, Zakir called on Malaysian Chinese to “go back” first as they were the “old guests” of the country during a religious talk called “Executive Talk bersama Dr Zakir Naik” in Kota Baru, Kelantan.Zakir was also chastised by many parties after he compared the Hindus in Malaysia to the Muslims in India, saying that the Hindus in Malaysia enjoyed more than 100% rights compared to Muslims in India.

Zakir, an Indian citizen, has stirred controversy in Malaysia with his open evangelism criticising non-Muslims.
