Stop inflaming anger on academic discourse

Recently, I had the honour of being invited to speak on "Maintaining National Unity" to global leaders including local Opposition leaders who participated in an event organised by the Communist Party of China (CPC). The focus of my speech was to share the Malaysian success story of maintaining our national unity and harmony. In fact, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) also sent their leader who spoke before me at the same forum.

Regrettably, politically-sponsored individuals and organisations have intentionally dragged up racial rhetoric to accuse MCA of being a "communist supporter" for participating in a forum attended by all parties which include Pakatan Harapan and Umno in reference to my speech at a virtual thematic briefing organised by the International Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee (IDCPC) on Monday (Feb 22).
