“In this era, we can see people frequently use social media to upload status, pictures or videos which are extremely sensitive. There is a need to remind them that they cannot just arbitrarily provoke others by overstepping aspects of 3R. Abdul Hamid was quoted as saying that he hoped politicians would not raise sensitive issues touching on race and religion which could threaten the harmony of the country.
Echoing this view was Universiti Sains Malaysia School of Social Sciences lecturer Prof Dr P. Sivamurugan who said social media users should practise moderation when commenting on any sensitive issues to preserve the peace and harmony achieved by the nation in past 63 years. He called on politicians to become idols of the people in finding common grounds in the diversity of religions, races, languages, cultures and views.
