It's 'textbook racism', says LFL on Bersatu Youth chief's statement


PETALING JAYA: The statement by Machang MP and Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal (pic) to amend the Constitution to limit the position of Prime Minister to Malays only is "textbook racism" and unconstitutional, says Lawyers for Liberty (LFL).

"In heightened global tensions and criticisms of apartheid policies in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is unthinkable and outrageous that a sitting MP suggested something akin to apartheid by legalising racism," said LFL director Zaid Malek.
