The government in the Malaysian state of Kedah is to install video cameras and recording devices in mosques to deter preachers from delivering political sermons.
Some mosques may be preaching politics
Cameras will be set up in six mosques, where anti-government statements have allegedly been made, and sound recorders will be used in more than 500 others.
