KOTA BARU: Muslim preacher Dr Zakir Naik will not be attending the three-day Pas ijtima which will start on Thursday.
This was announced by Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man who is the programme’s joint committee chairman.
Ibrahim said the organiser received a reply letter from Dr Zakir which stated that he could not attend the programme due to unavoidable reason.
“The preacher also apologise to the audiences as he could not make it to the gathering,” he said in a statement this evening.
Ibrahim said the organiser would replace his slot with another public figure which would be announced soon.
The Kelantan Pas ijtima is slated to be held at the Sultan Muhammad IV stadium.
