  • "at showing the world that Malaysia rejected the ideology of hatred". This is UNTRUE as long as you keep habouring Zakir Naik. He is a preacher of HATE. He berates all other religions to "prove" that Islam is the only true religion and all others are fake. lt looks hypocritical to hold a rally "at showing the world that Malaysia rejected the ideology of hatred" while hugging Zakir Naik, having tea with him and giving him red-carpet treatment and the freedom to go on bashing other faiths in his lectures.
