KUALA LUMPUR – In a span of just a few days, Malaysians have witnessed a Muslim preacher’s disparaging religious remarks and a Malay politician’s racial slur on Facebook.
 
These incidents have set the nation abuzz, with Malaysians raising concerns over the rising tide of racism in the country, some fearing that it could spark unrest. 
 
However, former Umno MP Mohd Tawfik Ismail said that the current government, led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, does not have the political will to combat racial discrimination in the country.
 
Speaking to The Vibes, the former Sg Benut MP said it is unfortunate that the government only wants to perpetuate an all-Malay government concept, as it would cast Ismail Sabri’s administration in a bad light.
