This is a temporary measure to calm the situation while the police investigates him, says Abdul Hamid Bador

Controversial preacher Dr Zakir Naik is not allowed to give talks on all mediums including social media, said Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador.“A directive has been issued by police whereby Zakir is prohibited from making any further speeches after the episode in Kelantan recently, which is aimed at giving us time to complete investigations relating to reports lodged on that episode.

"That seems fair, it is only temporary and if the situation doesn’t change, the instructions will remain. Abdul Hamid said with the order issued, police hoped that there would be no objections until a final decision was reached. Zakir is facing a police investigation under Section 504 of the Penal Code for intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace, after 115 reports were received against him.He has been called up twice to Bukit Aman to have his statement recorded, the first time for five hours last Friday and the second time for 10 hours from Monday afternoon up to early Tuesday.
