MALACCA: Foreign Islamic prea­chers will no longer be allowed to give talks on Islam in Malacca, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron. He said the state Islamic affairs department had been directed to screen religious speakers and turn away requests from foreign preachers to give talks in the state from now on. “Foreign preachers don’t comprehend our culture and sensitivities. Idris revealed that 157 foreign preachers held sermons and talks in Malacca from 2015 to last year. “Some of these (foreign) preachers were egoistic and not willing to compromise on our values of preserving Malaysia’s rich diversity of cultures and religions.
