KLUANG: The Sembrong parliamentary constituency is an example of racial unity and harmony where its Indian assemblyman receives the full support of people of other races, said Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
He said Kahang assemblyman S. Ramis received the support of the people although 97% of the population were non-Indians.
However, he said foreign news networks such as Al-Jazeera or CNN do not want to highlight such positive situations.
“They prefer to focus on the bad things that do not reflect the true identity of this country,” Hishammuddin, who is Sembrong MP, said after launching the Think.Com programme at SMK T6 yesterday.
At the Sembrong MIC Deepavali Open House, Ramis said the situation in the country, especially Sembrong, was fine without even a whiff of racial tension.
On the planned rally by the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) at the British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur today, he said he was firmly against such actions, describing it as an exploitation of democracy.
“These people are misusing the freedom of democracy to cause unwanted problems by staging the illegal rally or march,” he said.
