Opening wings’ AGMs, Tok Mat says Umno must high when ‘toxic’ rivals go low.
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 — Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan opened his party’s general assembly this year with a message of positivity, warning his delegates to eschew the toxic politics and hate speech that is taking over social media.
He urged members to reject such negativity and to instead build unity, saying the party is beginning to see the benefits of joining the unity government over the past two years.
When launching the assemblies for Umno’s Youth and Women’s wings, Mohamad, also known as Tok Mat, said there was an unprecedented rise of “toxic politics” in Malaysia. He described this phenomenon as being characterised by extreme slander, hatred, and derogatory language.
He said that since the 15th general election, there was a significant increase in “political hate speech” and emphasised that social media has become a platform for promoting this toxic environment.
