“Strong and firm action to stop fake news and hate speech which incite inter-racial and inter-religious suspicion, distrust, fear and hatred must be the top priority of the government,” he said during his address at the opening of the Third Lim Kit Siang Cup Young Malaysians debate tournament in Skudai today.
He said it as if the country is teetering on the verge of violent race and religious relations if the highly-orchestrated mountains of fake news and hate speeches which dominate the social media to incite suspicion, distrust, fear and hate pitting race against race and religion against religion is not immediately curbed.
