The Melaka Pakatan Harapan state government said it sought to avoid “issues” that could strain race relationships.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 — Melaka Chief Minister Adly Zahari said controversial preacher Dr Zakir Naik has been barred from holding religious talks in the state.

“We want to maintain this . So we decided not to allow Zakir to hold talks or gatherings here,” he told reporters yesterday. The Star reports that Kedah, Penang and Johor became the latest states to announce their objections to Dr. Zakir’s religious talks due to his combative style of propagating Islam.

“Any religious preacher must get the necessary approval from JAIJ before they are allowed to conduct religious talks. This is to ensure these preachers do not say anything against our creed or aqidah,” he was quoted saying.
