PUTRAJAYA, May 7 — The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) today denied claims that the Malaysian Government had rewarded preacher Dr Zakir Naik with land for Dr Naik’s Peace TV channel and a "slot on Malaysia’s national broadcaster”.

In a statement today, PMO said that the claims by a report by an Indian-based television channel, circulated through various social media outlets, were baseless.

"We would like to clarify that these allegations are baseless,” PMO said. — Bernama
