Tun M insists Malaysia has no choice but to keep Zakir Naik

The Prime Minister says controversial preacher Dr Zakir Naik is not welcome in Malaysia, but we have to keep him.

"We don't want anybody who comes up and expresses extreme views about race relations and other religions. To that extent we cannot have him, on the other hand, it is difficult to send him anywhere else because many countries do not want to have him."

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was speaking in an interview with a Turkish TV Channel, while on a working visit to the country. 

Zakir Naik is wanted in India for money laundering, but Malaysia has refused to extradite him.
