Consider This: National Harmony Commission — Why the Change of Course?

The Government has abandoned plans to establish an independent National Harmony Commission, even as racial and religious tensions remain a concern in Malaysia. So without this Commission, who has the power to act when racial and religious provocations occur? And who is held accountable when existing mechanisms fall short? Is strengthening current institutions enough? Or do we need a new legal framework? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Ramkarpal Singh, DAP MP for Bukit Gelugor & Former Deputy Law Minister, and Jerald Joseph, director of the civil society association, Pusat Komas.
