(MMO) – Human rights activist Datuk  Ambiga Sreenevasan has chided  Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman for hosting televangelist Dr Zakir Naik, merely days after asking for his deportation.

The prominent lawyer also called the first-term minister’s statement for Malaysians to “move on” after Dr Zakir’s so-called apology as a mere capitulation.

“This does not heal! Your first instincts were right. This is a capitulation by you so we don’t need the drivel about apologies et cetera.
