JOHOR BARU – The unity government will not tolerate any attempts to incite the people to cause division among the races, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar said he was not afraid and was open to criticism, but inciting the public to create conflict in the country’s multiracial society was not acceptable.

“I do not agree that the Sedition Act should be used against those who criticise the prime minister and the government, but we will not tolerate anyone who tries to incite or slander to the point of touching on the 3R (rulers, race, religion) issue... let the police take action.

“You can criticise anything and anyone... but if you use sentiments, incite Malays to hate Chinese, incite people to use religion to accuse others of infidelity... I stress that I will not tolerate it,” he said.

Anwar was speaking at the Madani Unity Mega Ceramah held in conjunction with the Pulai parliamentary by-election at Taman Uda Utama, Perling, last night.
