PETALING JAYA: DAP’s Charles Santiago today said that Dr Zakir Naik had every right to lodge a police report against him and vowed to co-operate with the authorities.“I am a Malaysian citizen and an elected representative. I acted in the interests of the nation, its people, our racial unity and national security.”

Naik said that the five had quoted him out of context when he was talking about misconceptions of Islam. Naik recently sparked controversy when he touched on the loyalty of Malaysian Hindus to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, claiming that they were more loyal to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi than to Mahathir despite receiving “100 times” more rights than Muslims in India.Police have since summoned Naik to record his statement after over 100 police reports were lodged against him.
