KUALA LUMPUR – A news bulletin on Awesome TV’s Berita 7:57 is being panned on social media for its racist editorial stance after urging Malay voters to vote in full force in the coming general election (GE15) to prevent political power from falling into non-Malay hands.
A clip of the broadcast dated November 3 shows two news anchors saying Malay voters should fulfil their duty by voting to prevent the rise of non-Malay politicians.
They also cite data by the Huayan Policy Institute Centre for Malaysian Chinese Studies that said 80% of Chinese voters are expected to cast their ballots, while around 10% do not intend to in the November 19 polls.
