TEE KEAT ADVOCATES USE OF SEDITION ACT OVER RACIALLY SENSITIVE REMARKS
MCA vice-president Datuk Ong Tee Keat said today he advocated penalty under the Sedition Act for members of Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties who make racially sensitive remarks
He said such action was necessary to ensure that the remarks by the individuals were not reflective of the stand of the parties they belonged to.
"If a party wants to show that the remarks were not reflective of its stand but represented an opinion of the individual (party member), it must discipline the member so as not to give a wrong picture to the people," he told a news conference after a visit to Westports Malaysia, here.
Ong was asked to comment on Gerakan's intention to suggest to the BN supreme council that leaders of BN component parties who utter racially sensitive remarks be hauled up under the Sedition Act or other relevant laws.
Gerakan acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon had claimed that a racially-sensitive comment by a politician in Penang during the Permatang Pauh by-election recently had eroded the Chinese support towards the BN
