BUKIT MERTAJAM: Thirteen police reports have been lodged against a Muslim preacher for allegedly making statements deemed insulting to Hinduism during a religious ceramah (talk) recently. The reports were lodged against Muhammad Zamri Vinoth bin Kalimuthu by members of several non-governmental organisations (NGOs) at various police stations across mainland Penang over the last four days. The footage of Muhammad Zamri – a convert to Islam – was recorded and uploaded to social media platforms by an organisation known as Info Sunnah in Kelantan. “It also shows (Muhammad Zamri’s) ignorance of Hinduism…,” one of the reports read. Leaders of the Penang Hindu Sangam are demanding that police take immediate action against the preacher, as his “provocative statements could spark tensions”.
