KUALA LUMPUR: The Home Ministry will retain the service of outspoken preacher Zamihan Mat Zin to rehabilitate and de-radicalise Islamic State militants held in prisons. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said this was because Zamihan had the expertise in the de-radicalisation programme. "My records have shown his success in restoring aqidah (faith) of Muslims who are associated with terrorism. "There is a manual and standard operating procedure for our de-radicalisation programme and it is available in four languages (Malay, English, Arabic and French). He was also once an officer in Home Ministry to oversee religious publications," he added.
