"Uproar in Malaysia after China flags waved at Perak cultural event
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil urged people to avoid making racially-charged comments over the incident"
"The Malaysian public has been cautioned against inciting racial sentiments about a cultural event where Chinese flags were publicly displayed in Perak state’s Teluk Intan or risk being investigated. Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said his ministry is monitoring the issue and would leave it to the police for further probe. “I have read some comments related to 3R (race, religion, royalty) on social media platforms such as TikTok and Facebook about this issue. “I want to remind all to refrain from making any comments that are inciting in nature or related to 3R, especially relating to race."
""The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is monitoring this and also working with the police to identify those who make inciting remarks about it,” he said on Saturday. Earlier, Fahmi was at the Malaysia International Healthcare (MIH) Megatrends 2024 where MCMC announced partnerships with several parties to drive healthcare innovation."
(Which entity could be behind it?)
"“We are aware of the statement made by the Perak police chief. We will leave it to the police to conduct an investigation,” he added. On Friday, Perak police chief Commissioner Azizi Mat Aris said the cultural event had violated conditions under the Peaceful Assembly Act."
"The event was meant to celebrate the deity Guan Gong, who is worshipped by Taoists as god of war and wealth."
So they think it could be sovereignity issue, just by waving flag???
How the ethnic harmony in Malaysia anyway?

This article from 2019... where some entities/individuals seem to hav asked vendors to sell CN flags in PH parks, then used it for to stir anti CN sentiment or narratives..
One active Malaysian on this issue seem to be this guy...

“As a leader, he should represent all races in this country as well as rigorously pursue check and balance so as not to disappoint or hurt any race in Malaysia.”"
