The Low Yat incident could have been worse
Salleh Said Keruak
Member of Parliament for Lembah Pantai Nurul Izzah Anwar said that the violence at the Low Yat Plaza over the weekend is the result of BTN indoctrination. I would like to remind Nurul Izzah that her father, Anwar Ibrahim, was one of the key players in BTN when he was in the government.
The Low Yat incident was a dispute over a mobile phone that was turned into a racial issue. It actually had nothing to do with race. It just happened to be that one party in the dispute was Malay and the other Chinese.
And this is a problem created by the media, the social media included. When a dispute between two people occurs why does the media insist on mentioning the race of those people as if race is the issue? It is merely a dispute between two people, not between two races.
