JOHOR BARU - Johor has banned two Islamic preachers from giving religious talks after Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the country will still allow the two clerics to preach even though Singapore had banned both men from entering the Republic over the "exclusivist" nature of their messages.

The state's Religious Affairs Committee chairman Abd Mutalip Abd Rahim Sultan said the move was a decree from Johor Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar that was issued on Wednesday (Nov 1), Berita Harian reported.
