Racist Utusan going Extreme

The Umno owned Newpaper Utusan Malaysia has go against other races and giving importancy to all racial issue.
Criticising another article - Baharom Mahusin’s commentary in his ‘Cetusan’ column in the same edition, Thanenthiran said the writer was unfair in his criticisms, was also inciting racial hatred and instigating communal conflict.
Hindraf was particularly offended by Baharom’s comment which stated that ‘ Kalau penyokong Hindraf melakukan penghinaan seumpama itu di kawasan-kawasan pendalaman yang menjadi kampung halaman orang Melayu, mereka sudah pun diajar tentang makna dan akibat berperangai kurang ajar.’ (If Hindraf supporters pour such insults in the interior areas dominated by Malays, they would have been taught a lesson on the meaning and consequence of misbehaviour.)
Thanenthiran asked, “What is the writer trying to instigate here?‘Communal conflict? Racial hatred?”.
The Home Minister should look into this kind of matter and not only focus on ISA. Why should The ministry issue showcause letter to other newspaper in Malaysia but let Utusan to Making racist comment.
