00:00Two DAP elected representatives have accused Perak Past Commissioner Razman Zakaria of
00:07racialising an incident involving the waving of China's national flags at a parade in Telok Intan.
00:14Batu Lanchang Assemblyman Ong Ah Tiong and Bangi MP Sharidzan Johan accused Razman of fanning
00:21racial sentiments and exploiting the incident. Ong said Razman had clearly slandered Ngah Korming
00:28by claiming that he had officiated the event last week. In a separate statement, Sharidzan said
00:36Razman's criticism of the incident had clearly sowed the seeds of hatred and division among the
00:41public. Last night, Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Thiong Khing Singh urged every party
00:48to stop overreacting to the incident, saying it might scare off potential visitors to the country.
00:55The Guangdong Cultural Association has since apologised, saying the flags were displayed
01:00by Chinese nationals attending their international Guangdong Cultural Festival.
01:06Razman criticised the event and allegedly made racial remarks at a counter-demonstration.
