ADUN SPEAKS - J-Kom DG must resign or be removed over 'Cina sesat' insult By Chin Tek Ming

Malaysiakini : ADUN SPEAKS | I am deeply concerned and disappointed by Community Communications Department (J-Kom) director-general Hisyamuddin Ghazali reportedly using the derogatory term "Cina sesat" (lost Chinese) in reference to businessperson Albert Tei and activist Eric See-To.

Regardless of one's political views or differences of opinion, such racial labelling is wholly inappropriate, irresponsible, and unbecoming of a senior government official entrusted with leading a federal communications agency.

RZee : Racists abound in west Malaysia. It’s the norm. Nobody stops them.

Just Common Sense : Does this JKOM refer to other races as Melayu sesat, or India sesat or Kadazan sesat or is this reserved only for those of Chinese race? Anwar again scores own goal with his appointment.

Jarchin : Why wait for him to resign. The person who appointed him should sack him without further delay. PM Anwar at his favourite line of action - pretend don't know!!

World Citizen : Every ministry and their ministers have their own communication departments to promote and advocate their policies to the public. Then there is RTM and various other stations to disseminate government policies and propaganda to the public. 

We also have a whole Ministry of Communication doing the same job. So then, what exactly is the need for a Community Communication Department? The Prime Minister always talks about avoiding and reducing waste and this J-Com should be first on his list to be eliminated.

Meerkat : PMX has shown his cards where he stands in this matter and in the broader subject of racial harmony. By backing this person, he is turning his back on Chinese voters.

Krabian : Should shut down this ex UMNO and Melayu propaganda outfit. It has caused more harm and damages to unity and harmony.
