PETALING JAYA: Perak’s Sultan Nazrin Shah has warned those who propagate extreme views on ethnicity and religion that firm action will be taken against them.

He said extreme views which incite hatred and potentially provoke hostility among citizens must be stopped.

“Firm and immediate action must be taken to stop activities by any party, whether through speech or actions, that poison minds and fan negative emotions of people by exploiting differences in ethnicity and religion,” Bernama quoted him as saying when officially opening the 15th Perak state legislative assembly.

He noted that the state’s population stands at 2.5 million, comprising 61.5% Malays and Bumiputera, 26.7% Chinese, and 11.3% Indians, all of whom observe various religious beliefs, inherit diverse cultures, and are proficient in multiple languages.
