Minister: Probe racist incident against Dayak woman in Shah Alam

Police have been urged to conduct an immediate investigation into a viral video of a Dayak salesperson allegedly being threatened and scolded by a man, including with racist words, in an incident at Central i-City Shah Alam, recently.

National Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang said appropriate action should be taken against the perpetrators, while saying acts that are racist, uncivilised, and contrary to the principles of the Rukun Negara should be dealt with seriously.

"Incidents like this should not exist in the multi-racial and multi-religious society of this country.

“Every individual deserves to be respected regardless of their ethnic, religious, or social status.

“The National Unity Ministry will not compromise on any form of insult against any race in the country," he said in a statement last night.

Aaron also reminded all Malaysians to continue to maintain the harmony and unity of the country by respecting and understanding each other.

He was responding to a video claiming that a woman of Dayak descent was threatened and scolded by her customer, including racially, over an alleged misunderstanding during a sales transaction.
