Pasir Mas, Pakatan MPs butt heads over racism, freedom of speech - superadmin - 02-17-2023 KUALA LUMPUR – Perikatan Nasional (PN) Youth chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (Pasir Mas-PN) ticked off several government-affiliated MPs during his debate of the royal address today, when he highlighted numerous past incidents. Fadhli said Parliament must act on prevalent racist speeches, as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah  Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah had instructed Malaysians to avoid racial issues. In response to DAP National Chairman Lim Guan Eng’s (Bagan-PH) earlier debate highlighting issues that oppressed non-Muslims, Fadhli countered by mentioning ex-DAP member “Superman” Hew Kuan Yau’s arrest for his “disgusting” speech. He was citing the speech verbatim, before Chow Yu Hui (Raub-PH) clarified that Hew’s comments were directed at racists, not at Malays as a whole. - More -
