KUALA LUMPUR: People who accuse DAP lawmakers of being anti-Malay, anti-Islam and against the national language need to find new excuses, says Youth and Sports Deputy Minister Steven Sim.

Sim, who was launching his collection of Bahasa Melayu poems on Thursday (Aug 16), said language was meant to shine a spotlight on knowledge, not make it exclusive to certain groups.
