Zakir Naik In Malaysia

Malaysia was looking for a country except India to send Zakir Naik, but not many countries are willing to accept the controversial preacher

Mahathir, who had met the radical Indian cleric last week, has made it clear that his government will not easily give in to India's demand to deport Naik

It is unclear as to what Naik discussed with Mahathir in their first meeting since the ruling Pakatan Harapan assumed power in Putrajaya

Naik, who has been banned in the UK, has been given permanent residency in Malaysia
