Malaysia’s MCA party is demanding answers from Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching regarding racially sensitive language used by the newly appointed director-general of the Community Communications Department (J-Kom). Mohd Hisyamuddin Ghazali referred to two government critics as “Cina sesat,” a Malay phrase translated as “misguided Chinese.” The MCA views this as a deeply offensive racial slur and is seeking clarification on why no action has been taken. The party questions the deputy minister’s silence on the matter, implying a lack of condemnation. This incident raises concerns about the potential for discriminatory rhetoric within a government communications department. The MCA is pushing for a public explanation and accountability for the remarks made by the J-Kom head. The controversy highlights ongoing ethnic sensitivities within Malaysian politics.
