Barely 24 hours after defending the rights of a vocal Muslim preacher to say what he wants, Penang exco member Abdul Malik Kassim has changed his tune.
He now says Shahul Hamid Seeni Muhammad may be investigated for creating disharmony or illegal preaching.
The state religious affairs committee chairman said this might lead to the revocation of the preacher’s credentials or Shahul may be brought to the shariah court for preaching without permission from the authorities.
Malik said Shahul’s preaching and teaching credentials would be examined by the Penang Islamic Council (MAIPP), which regulates all matters related to Islam in the state.
He said under the Administration of the Religion of Islam (Penang) Enactment 2004, those who were given credentials to teach on Islamic matters were required to comply with six conditions.
