Inciting hatred among races will hamper country's growth: DPM
By DHARMENDER SINGH The Star
The Government's socio-economic development programmes will not succeed if there are parties consistently inciting anger and hatred among the races.
Malaysia's formula for success since independence had been the various communities' strong cooperation and willingness to work hand-in-hand, and this had to be maintained for the country to continue to develop and prosper.
"The rights all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion and background, are protected under the Constitution and there should not be any reason to touch on issues involving racial or religious sensitivities.
"The acts of unscrupulous people (in inciting anger and hatred among the races) could lead to problems among the races and result in instability. This will hamper the efforts for development and growth in the country.
In conjuction of Fasting Month, Muslims should make the country's pillars of unity and lead the way in working shoulder-to-shoulder with other races and faiths to develop Malaysia.
