Racist comments have no place in a multi-racial society like M'sia, says Peja on Hanis' suspension


PETALING JAYA: The suspension of national hockey player Hanis Nadiah Onn by the Malaysia Hockey Confederation (MHC) serves as a timely reminder that racist comments have no place in a multi-racial society like Malaysia, says Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu.

"Respect for each other is the cornerstone of a society like ours, and as a national hockey player, Hanis needs to be held accountable for her comments," the former youth and sports minister said in a statement Friday (Feb 10).
