#KiniNews: Rafizi defiant, won't yield to threats; PM orders action against those who incite hatred

[KiniNews] Amid calls for him to take a break, Rafizi Ramli has vowed to press on, declaring that stepping aside would only reward those behind the attack on his 12-year-old son.

“Some have suggested that I take a short break, but life and responsibilities must go on,” the Pandan MP said, while reaffirming his refusal to bow to threats.

“It’s not that I am heartless or putting politics above everything else right now, but the aim of the threats against my family is to make me give up and stay silent. If I stop following my usual routine and duties, then they will have achieved their goal,” he added.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim this afternoon instructed law enforcement agencies to take strong action against those who incite hatred in the country.

In his speech at a civil service assembly in Putrajaya, the prime minister cited recent incidents that had been used by certain quarters as agendas to heighten political sentiments by undermining and punishing others without being based on truth and facts.
