Unity Minister: No need for new anti-racism law


KUALA LUMPUR: There is no need for a new law to address racism, as existing legislation is enough to curb the issue, says National Unity Minister Datuk Seri Aaron Ago Dagang.

He was responding to a question in Parliament yesterday put forward by Lim Guan Eng (PH-Bagan) who asked the ministry to state whether there is a need for an Anti-Discrimination Act to curb racism, especially following a recent incident involving a trader in Sepang.
