GEORGE TOWN, Aug 30 (Bernama) -- There must be some clear punitive measures to tackle racism, said former MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.
Ong, who is Member of Parliament (MP) for Pandan, said the act of insulting other races should not be viewed lightly and that action must be taken against the culprits.
"We must stop such actions which may jeopardise the current multi-racial harmony in the country by coming out with clear punitive measures," he told reporters after holding a dialogue session Penang MCA Youth representatives here Monday.
Ong said this in commenting on the case of a school principal in Kulai Jaya Johor who is alleged to have made racist remarks during an assembly in conjunction with the Merdaka month.
Ong added that in conjunction with the Merdeka month, all Malaysians should work together to improve the country's economy instead of resorting to insulting other races.
