PETALING JAYA: The National Harmony Act can foster peace and help prevent hate speech and hate crime in the long run, says Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Tan Sri Joseph Kurup.
“The National Unity and Integration Department and the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) are in the final stages of drafting the Act. We will be doing roadshows to get public feedback on the proposed Act,” said Kurup, adding that it would be a long-term solution to stop hate speech and prevent it from escalating into violent acts.
