Penampang: Pesatuan Belia Wawasan Penampang (BE-Wawasan) and Upko Penampang Youth on Saturday lodged police reports against two anti-Dusun sites on the social network Facebook which they said were offensive to the Dusun race and detrimental to public order.When met at the Penampang Police Station Saturday, Upko Penampang Youth Chief, Pancratius Pudin, said he and BE-Wawasan Chief, Adrian Siponong, made the reports against the sites that were found to contain insulting and inflammatory words against the Dusun race.

"We are saddened and regret the actions of certain irresponsible individuals who have tried to create mischief and chaos among the people, which can lead to racial animosity in the country.

"The Government needs to take these kinds of issues seriously as it may create tension among the various races," he said.

Adrian said he concurred with Pancratius and hoped the authorities would investigate the cases, which may have a negative effect on the youths and lead to racial tension in the country.

"The 1Malaysia concept mooted by the Prime Minister needs to be upheld so that Malaysia can continue to develop as a peaceful and harmonious country.

"With this, we hope the relevant authorities including the police and the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission will investigate the cases and bring the individuals responsible to justice."
