SEE Chee How (PKR-Batu Lintang) strongly believes that racist sentiments should not be brought up in the august House.
He was referring to the incident on Thursday morning where Wong King Wei (DAP-Padungan) was delivering his maiden speech when he was interrupted with racist remarks, telling him to “go back to China”.
“The BN Backbenchers members loudly shouted at King Wei telling him to go back to China just because he praised the Beijing-Shanghai high speed railway project.
“That is very unethical and unreasonable,” he told reporters yesterday.
See said anyone could praise or raise example of any country to back their speech.
“Why specifically in this case, they have to tell people to go back to China? The Chinese people have been here for so many years and generations. It is clearly racist and it is unacceptable to bring up racist sentiments here,” he said.
According to See, there are ways to find out who uttered the racist remarks but he doubted that it will be done.
“It was for sure not recorded in the hansards,” he said.
