PETALING JAYA - The Malaysian government should rescind controversial preacher Zakir Naik's Permanent Resident status and return him to India, said former police chief Rahim Noor.
"Based on this statement, it looks like we must wait for the outcome of the investigation. However, my personal view is he had touched on religion and other matters that hurt the feelings of non-Muslims in the country, especially the Hindus. We should not wait for the outcome of the investigation. "There must be something that he did in his home country that is against the law as he was put on the wanted list by Indian authorities."Do we need these type of people? To me, it is a big no,"he said.
Mr Rahim said as a patriot, he felt deeply hurt that a foreigner, who was granted PR, had the nerve to utter comments that could incite trouble among Malaysians of different religion and race.
