Prime Minister Najib Razak has come out strongly to denounce racism, saying that the federal government should adopt the policy of zero tolerance on the issue, with special focus on those who try to incite racial hatred.
At the Barisan Nasional Youth Lab townhall session in Kuala Lumpur this morning, when taking questions from the floor in a question-and-answer session, Najib attempted to calm emotional waves by urging the public not to be quick about apportioning blame and said, "Sometimes what is interpreted by others may not also be the truth."
Asked if civil servants found to make racist remarks would be sacked, the premier also remained non-committal and said, "We need to have an educational process. It is still quite nascent (for the civil servants). But rest assured, those who make racist remarks, action will be taken."
