How credible could Najib claims that he practices moderation when after 54 years of independence Malaysians cannot freely discuss issues which could affect how the people choose the government. If racial sensitivity is the excuse that some issues are sensitive then clearly Malaysia is not a mature democracy. It also means that sweeping the issue concerning race under the carpet would not desensitize the topic about race. It is worse when the question of how the government implement its policies could incur racial tension. That only proves that the government allows a section of the population to have vested interest in government policies, and that they appear to be above the law by virtue of the fact that they want the government to continue with its actions which are being questioned. That proves that the government practices extremism and worse institutionalized racism.
