PM: Politicians play up race, religion to distract people from the real bogeyman


KUALA LUMPUR: Politicians harp on racial and religious issues to distract the people from corruption, which is the country's real problem, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister said leaders tried to appeal to voters, including to the Malays, by painting the illusion that their positions and power base were being challenged by other races.
