Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has warned the people against spreading “half-truths” on racial issues and said the Government has zero tolerance of racist remarks.
“We are aware of some SMSes that have been going around, (in which the content) is not accurate and is intended to raise (racial) sentiments,” he said.
Najib emphasized that action would be taken against those who made remarks that were racist in nature and unlawful, and also against those who vandalized places of worship such as churches or surau.
“Let’s not have people who spin the issue racially, as if we practice selective prosecution,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Najib said the Government had zero tolerance for racist remarks by anyone.
“Our stand is not to tolerate racist remarks by anyone. Unity is very important as part of our nation building,” Najib said.
Najib, however, added that alleged racist remarks must first be investigated before action was taken.
