  • UMNO has succeeded in inciting racial hatred in this peaceful community which has lived in relative peace and harmony for generations. What a despicable party UMNO is to use hate speech against another ethnic group just to win the by-election. Elections Commission and PDRM should act decisively now to stop further acts by UMNO to polarise the voters.
