RACIAL slurs against national badminton player S. Kisona should not and cannot be accepted, says Datuk Halimah Mohamed Sadique.

“I have read the remarks, which are racist in nature. It should not and cannot be accepted as the culture of the country’s multiracial society.“More so as sports has always been considered a foundation to unite Malaysians irrespective of race, religion or ethnicity,” the National Unity Minister said when answering a question raised by Cha Kee Chin (PH-Rasah).
