Cops urged to probe viral video of Dayak woman allegedly threatened, racially abused in Shah Alam

POLICE have been urged to investigate and incident where a female Dayak saleswoman was allegedly threatened and scolded by a man, including involving racist words in an incident in Central i-City Shah Alam, recently.

National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang said acts that are racist and uncivilised and even contrary to the principles of the Rukun Negara should be dealt with seriously.

"Appropriate action must be taken against the perpetrators. Incidents like this should not exist in the multi-racial and multi-religious society of this country.

"Every individual deserves to be respected regardless of their ethnic, religious, or social status. The Ministry of National Unity will not compromise on any form of insult against any race in the country," he said in a statement.
