00:00But suddenly, in a speech by the Chief of the Cepe Group, he made a rather harsh and excessive accusation that this could result in a tragedy on 13 May.
00:15I hope that the actions taken by the authorities, asking him to apologize and withdraw, if not, must be referred to the Ministry of Justice and Freedom.
00:27This is what Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng told the Dewan Rakyat today following Pengkalan Cepa MP Ahmad Marzook Sya'ari's remark that a proposed anti-racial discrimination law could lead to another May 13th racial riot.
00:40This is not only an insult to the community, but also confusing the Dewan Rakyat because this is not true. I did not mention May 13th at all.
00:54Dewan Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul advised Lim to file a motion over Marzook's remark and allow him to refer to the Hansard.
01:02On Tuesday, Marzook said the proposed legislation could heighten racial tensions and possibly lead to a repeat of the racial riots in 1969.
01:12He also said that such legislation could serve as a backdoor for the abolition of Bumi Putra rights and privileges.
