No compromise on race or religious incitement, says deputy comms minister

KUALA LUMPUR: The authorities will not compromise and remain committed to taking stern action against any parties that threaten the country's security, stability or harmony by insulting the royal institution or any race or religion, Parliament was told.

Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Eddin Syazlee Shith said the government would continue to improve and update current laws, including the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA), to ensure they remained relevant and could address issues involving insults to religions, the special position of the Malays and the royal institution.
