| Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob |
Contrary to his Facebook posting
stating otherwise, I claimed that Agriculture and Agro-based
Industries Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was not targeting
Chinese traders alone.
His statement was aimed to reprimand
traders who refuse to reduce the price of goods even when the price of fuel has
reduced to RM1.70. Not with any other agenda. The reprimand was aimed at all
traders and not at traders of any particular race. He also suggested that
consumers use their buying power to force traders to reduce the price of goods.
The actual misunderstanding happened
because most of the business in Malaysia is holding by the Chinese community
and some of the oppositions take this opportunity to manipulate the statement
from Ismail Sabri.
If you look at the statement from
MCA President Liow Tiong Lai, he clarified that what Ismail Sabri meant was
stubborn Chinese traders who did not bring down prices despite fuel price cuts,
and for consumers to band together to apply pressure.
After the statement from Ismail
Sabri I heard some people are already lowering prices due to the pressure. This
is a wonderful turnout for our Malaysian.
In the end, police will record
Ismail Sabri's statement today in connection with investigated under Section
505 of the Penal Code for uttering statements conducive to public mischief.
Let’s police done their part and give a clear picture on the statement from
Ismail Sabri.
Therefore, any disputes which could
lead to racial polarization should not be prolonged as it will bring adverse
effects to everyone.
