LAST week, a group of DAP youth members took it upon themselves to paste stickers of road names in Chinese characters on Kuching road signs. This wasn’t received well especially in the peninsula, where it can be deemed disrespectful to the Malay language, and by extension, the Malay community.
“Disrespect” has long been a favourite political trope, contributing to the vox populi that led to the unpopularity of the previous government, seen as “dominated” by the Chinese DAP and not doing enough to “protect” Malay culture.
