KUALA LUMPUR - Controversial preacher Zakir Naik overstepped boundaries when he touched on racial politics and stirred racial tension in Malaysia, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said.
It was reported recently that Penang, Perlis, Kedah and Sarawak have banned Dr Zakir from speaking publicly in their states. Because of that, Dr Mahathir said, the police will have to investigate whether Dr Zakir is causing tension or not - and in his opinion, Dr Zakir obviously was. "Whatever action we take will be in accordance with the law. This government respects the rule of law," he said.
