Suhakam says there should be intercultural dialogues to promote mutual tolerance and respect.
It also called for open platforms for youths and various groups in society to discuss and address the issue of racial discrimination in Malaysia. Unfortunately, it said, social media has been misused by some quarters for public shaming and blaming, with verbal attacks, racist and xenophobic statements published targeting particular ethnicities and nationalities.
It proposed intercultural dialogues to promote mutual tolerance and respect, and emphasised the need for a culture of tolerance, equality and non-discrimination among youths, who had the potential to develop a just, peaceful and sustainable society in the future.
