PETALING JAYA: The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) has demanded that former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad issues a public apology over a controversial statement he made over the recent religion-motivated attacks in France.

It said Dr Mahathir should use his position and seniority as a public figure to educate the masses and promote the elimination of all forms of discrimination, rather than abusing social media platforms to provoke and incite hostility.
