SIBU: The challenge of all political parties – whether in the government or opposition at state or national level – is to take a firm and solid stand against false news and hate speeches aimed at inciting polarisation between people of various races and religions in Malaysia.

Therefore, there is a need for all political parties to adopt a united and firm stance against false news and hate speech that could tear apart the fabric of society, Democratic Action Party (DAP) parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang points out.
