ISLAMIC preacher Zamihan Mat Zin, who was last week remanded for two days under the Sedition Act over his criticism of a royal edict banning Muslim-only launderettes in Johor, is no stranger to controversy.

An employee of the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim), which has been told that it is no longer welcome to advise Johor on religious matters, Zamihan was today stripped of his accreditation to preach Islam in Selangor.

  • Some people need to open their small minds instead of their big mouth. Even a fish will eventually get hooked.

  • How did this man get so far in practice and up in the hierarchy of religion in this country must first be thoroughly investigated. Alone, and mired with controversies even amongst other ordained preachers, this guy does not possess the intelligence and interllectuality to be peddling medicine, leave alone religion and faith.

    Is he a wolf in sheep's clothing? Is he a political hegemon of the incumbent or another Islamic political party? Is he an initiator of making Malaysia a Republic, no Agongs or Sultans? Is he a religious deviant?

    Surely all these questions must be raised and asked - even if he claims to speak for Allah. For all intent and purpose, he is no different to that bamboo goggles and coconut jungle guy, but that guy was eventually reigned in. Who is this country is going to skin this cat Zamihan?
