MUHAMMAD Zamri Vinoth Kalimuthu today vowed to give up his Malaysian citizenship if Putrajaya extradites controversial preacher Zakir Naik to India.

Zamri, an aide to Zakir, said he viewed any extradition of the preacher as a sellout of the religion.

“If the government extradites Zakir, I will not hesitate to surrender my IC (identity card).

“I am not prepared to live in Malaysia if our religion is being sold,” he said when addressing the PAS Youth Muktamar in Gambang, Pahang.

Zamri, as controversial as his mentor, was arrested in April and detained for four days under investigation into complaints he made insulting statements on Hinduism during a religious lecture.

India wants Zakir extradited to answer multiple charges relating to terrorism and money-laundering. Zakir has rejected all allegations against him and has expressed confidence that Malaysia will back him.

Last week, India’s External Affairs Ministry had put in a formal extradition request to Malaysia for the controversial preacher.

Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, however, had questioned if Zakir would be treated fairly by the Indian authorities if he was sent back.

In his address at the muktamar, Zamri said Muslims whom he viewed as weak should emulate their Chinese brethren who, despite their political differences, can still stick together and remain united.

“We need to follow the example of the Chinese. They might have DAP or MCA but when it comes to issues concerning their language and race, they become one even though they might not share the same political belief.

“I feel really sad when I see an Islamic MP being bullied in Parliament and not one fellow Islamic MP opening his mouth to help him out. It is very sad.

“Let us unite as one ummah. If any Muslim is mistreated, we have to show solidarity no matter what political belief or religious sect we belong to,” he said. – June 19, 2019.

  • He is foolishly trying to attain martyrdom thru' Zakir Naik. A disgrace to his family in being born , a disgrace to his race , a disgrace to his intelligence , a disgrace to Islam in practising of worshipping and idolising a mortal being in Zakir Naik. Has any of the muftis or PAS syaitan ever teaches him what is the real Islam. Looks like he is expandable as a political tool for the hard core extremist radical Islamic militants.

  • Hello Muhammad Zamri Vinoth Kalimuthu, if Zakir Naik is a true Muslim, why does he not respect the Prophet who said "to you yours and to me mine"? The Prophet never ordered his followers to convert the whole world to Islam, but Zakir Naik's "jihad" is that there should be no non-Muslims on this planet. Zakir Naik blasphemously says that all children are born as Muslims, but they are taken out of Islam by thier non-Muslim parents. He then cynically "invites" all non-Muslims to "revert" to the religion of their birth, i.e. Islam. Does this not mean that Zakir Naik is preaching false Islam? Yes, if Malaysia follows international laws and Zakir Naik is extradited, you can follow him. Was Islam under attack when the ISIS were being "disciplined"? Is Islam under attack when the police rounds up supporters of ISIS?

  • What utter rubbish is Zamri Vinoth saying. Money laundering is a crime and Zakir needs to go back to face trial ... this has nothing to do with Islam

  • I am sure Islam will flourish much better without you and Zakir Naik. A moderate Islam is certainly more attractive than an extremist one.
