Malaysians vent anger at politician over racial slur at Kisona

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR - As the Malaysian badminton squad celebrated making the semi-final of the Sudirman Cup after 12 years, one player became the victim of racist slur on social media.

S. Kisona was the target of a netizen who derogatorily refered to her 'keling' on social media.

The Facebook post has apparently been taken down but not before it had gone viral.

The post said: BAM kutip india (keling) dlm estate mana lah jd pemain utama Malaysia (Which estate did BAM find this indian (keling) and made her Malaysia's main player).

The Facebook post has angered many in the sports industry who are disgusted by the uncalled for remark by that individual.

A former sportsman who declined to be named told The Vibes that comments like these do not augur well to non-Malay athletes.
