A FISHERMAN from Sungai Lereh, Melaka, has discouraged people from inciting racial conflicts and to take heed from regular kampung folk.Malek Wahab, 52, said racial slurs spewed by urbanities were rampant and the public were bored of hearing about it.

“Ministers must control (the spread of) incendiary remarks on social media postings to prevent despair among the people in Malaysia,” he said at a luncheon organised by Ramada Plaza by Wyndham in Melaka.
