Adhere to Malay rulers’ call, stop fanning hate based on race, religion – Rais Hussin

[superadmin]

THOSE who claim to uphold Malay supremacy and extremist religious ideologies are now challenged when the very symbol they claim to defend – the Malay rulers – have urged the new government to instil a “spirit of togetherness” among Malaysians.

Specifically, the Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir reportedly said the following: “I hope that there will be no more leaders who raise racial or religious issues with the aim of inciting the community” after chairing the 260th Council of Rulers meeting today (November 30, 2022).

This is timely advice, and a frankly, a stern warning from the Malay rulers, given the sharp rise of ethnocentric and theocentric narratives from certain political sides, aiming to fan hate, racism and discrimination by using dirty tactics of instigation, fake news and slander – all of which are against the true teachings of Islamic leadership.
