Diffusing hostilities through reasonable discourse


THE recent warning by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin of a bloody incident if racial tension is left unchecked deeply troubled me as the statement was coming from someone very senior in the Federal Government.

Is the situation so critical? Are people feeling a sense of tension and fear to leave their homes or go to the Ramadan baazar? This is not really so and therefore we need to reflect where the tensions lie today in Malaysian society and what solutions are at hand.
