Anwar does not agree with Zakir Naik's approach to preaching


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The actions of independent preacher Dr Zakir Naik who stirred a hornet's nest about Hindus and Chinese in Malaysia in a lecture were uncalled for despite his intention to preach, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"I do not agree with Zakir Naik on this matter. I know he is preaching and there is a lot of good in it, but he should not have touched about racial issues in this country," the PKR president said at a "PKR Presidential Tour" series here Tuesday (Aug 20).
