Chinese education group Dong Zong has called for legal action against the UiTM pro-chancellor as well as a former judge who had made “racist and extremist” remarks in the wake of a poor outing for the BN in the 13th general election.

abdul rahman arshad uitm 120513 UiTM pro-chancellor Abdul Rahman Arshad (left) and former Court of Appeals judge Mohd Noor Abdullah had said at a forum that multiple education streams should be converted into a single language stream, for the sake of national unity.

Mohd Noor had also said the Chinese Malaysian community should be prepared for a backlash from the Malays for having attempted to seize political power.

"We strongly protest and reprimand the extremist remarks by these two individuals. Their remarks have been highly detrimental to national unity," Dong Zong said in a statement today.

"They racist and extremist remarks have not only hijacked national unity, but have also dealt a severe blow to social harmony.

NONE "The GE13 results show that more than half of Malaysians from all ethnic backgrounds, in particular young voters, have shunned race-oriented politics, chauvinism, corruption, power abuse and other irrational social realities. They abhor the chronic violation against their rights to ethnic equality, democracy and freedom.”

Dong Zong said Mohd Noor and Abdul Rahman should take heed of Umno supreme council member Saifuddin Abdullah's warning that the party would be ‘committing political suicide’ if it leans toward right-wing groups.

"This should serve as a wake-up call that singularism and racial extremism will only serve to jeopardise the interest of the nation and its people, and be eventually thrashed by the rakyat," it added.
