PETALING JAYA: A law to criminalise racial remarks should be introduced, says a former top civil servant, following two incidents involving remarks by a social media influencer and a national hockey player.

“I really can’t believe these kinds of things are still happening. We must introduce a law where racist remarks are considered an offence and punishable,” said Noor Farida Mohd Ariffin, a spokesperson of the G25 group of former senior civil servants.

Her comments were made in the wake of remarks linked to a concert at the National Stadium last Saturday.

The influencer is under police investigation, while hockey player Hanis Nadiah Onn has apologised for her remarks.

Farida said if a law criminalising racist remarks was introduced, victims would be able to lodge reports against the offenders.
