Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has urged Malays to shun Chinese businesses to compel them to lower prices.

Ismail Sabri had made the comment through his Facebook page, but the post is not accessible publicly.

However, the post has been screencaptured and is in heavy circulation among pro-Umno blogs and social media, with many expressing support for the minister.

The Malaysian Insider reports that the minister has confirmed authoring the Facebook post.

In his post, Ismail Sabri said consumers are the ones who wield the power to compel businesses to lower prices, although the government has legal mechanisms to prevent profiteering.

"The majority of consumers are Malays. The Chinese are the minority. If the Malays boycott their busineeses, they will have no choice but to reduce prices," wrote Ismail Sabri.

Ismail Sabri also accused Chinese businesses of having suspect halal certifications, yet Malays are still patronising such establishments.

"Just look at Old Town White Coffee... They are suspicious... but still Malays are not boycotting (the company). Moreover, the company is owned by the Ngeh family (of) Perak DAP, which are anti-Islam.

"As long as Malays don't change, the Chinese will take advantage and oppress the Malays," he stressed.

It is believed that Ismail Sabri is referring to DAP's Sitiawan assemblyperson Ngeh Khoo Ham.

When contacted, Ngeh denied an interest in Old Town White Coffee and said he will issue a press release later.

Malaysiakini is currently attempting to contact Ismail Sabri for comments

DR MAHATHIR DISAPPROVES ISMAIL SABRI's RACIST REMARKS SAYING THE RACIST MINISTER IS NOT THINKING CAREFULLY WITH HIS RACIST COMMENTS ABOUT THE MALAYSIAN CHINESE COMMUNITY.

MEANWHILE DOES ANYONE HEAR OR READ WHAT OUR  ELECTED PRIME MINISTER  NAJIB ABDUL RAZAK SAY ANYTHING ON THE ISSUE? 

MOST LIKELY HE  PERSONALLY AGREES WITH ISMAIL SABRI BY HIS  ABSOLUTE SILENCE. THEY SAY " A LEADER's SILENCE IS CONSENT". 

OR WE HAVE  AN ELECTED PRIME MINISTER WHO DOES NOt FOLLOW WHAT IS GOING ON  IN AND AROUND THE COUNTRY.

As more Umno supporters emerge to back minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob over his call to boycott Chinese businesses, the grand old man of Umno Dr Mahathir Mohamad has expressed his disapproval.

Speaking to reporters at a function in Kepong today, Mahathir said rising cost of living had nothing to do with ethnicity and that Ismail should look for the real cause of the problem.

"That's a negative way to try to solve the problem. Find out what is the cause.

"Maybe he didn't think (about) what he said. If he thinks carefully, he would not say boycott Chinese goods," said the former premier, according to The Rakyat Post.

Mahathir added that Malay and Indian businesses are also not reducing their prices and not all traders are Chinese.

"This is not about Chinese or Malay, this is about oil prices going down, but goods prices are not going down," he said.    

On Monday, Ismail's Facebook post urging Malays to boycott Chinese business to compel the latter to reduce prices was widely shared on the Internet.

He later claimed that his message was intended only at some "stubborn" Chinese traders who refused to bring down the price of their goods in view of falling fuel prices.

However, critics have pointed out that Ismail's original message was aimed at depicting the Chinese community as profiteers and that he had claimed that the Chinese community was trying to "oppress" the Malays.

Since Monday, a string of Umno personalities have begun showing support for Ismail, the latest involving 92 Umno division leaders from across the country.
