Help those in need based on needs not race, says ethnic studies expert

KUALA LUMPUR: The new government should depoliticise the work done among marginalised communities and make it non-race-based, said Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia principal research fellow at the Institute of Ethnic Studies Datuk Dr Denison Jayasooria.

This meant that the projects should be carried out by the civil service and not by politicians themselves using government funds, said the ethnic studies expert.
