In the report, Jais asked the police to take action against Kulasegaran over his statement which he alleged had hurt and angered the Malays.

Speaking to reporters after lodging the report, Jais said Kulasegaran's questioning of Malay supremacy could spark racial disunity and riots.

At Parliament House later, Jais handed over to Kulasegaran, who is a DAP vice-president, a memorandum condemning the statement and sought an open apology from him.

Heated debate

Jais told reporters at the lobby of Parliament House that Kulasegaran had denied having questioned Malay supremacy, saying that GPMS accepted his statement and would continue to monitor whether he would do so in future.

On Dec 3, Kulasegaran had raised the issue of Malay supremacy in the Dewan Rakyat, setting off a heated argument among the MPs.

Kulasegaran, when posting a supplementary question to Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, had said that issues like Malay supremacy had remained a stumbling block to unity in the country because it was regarded as a discrimination of other races.
