Moving Beyond Racially Derogatory Terms

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was recently chided for being insensitive to the Indian community after quoting from the Hikayat Hang Tuah, using a term considered offensive to them. Praba Ganesan, Chief Executive of KUASA, a democracy outreach organisation, talks to us about the wider issues the Indian Malaysian community continues to face and why they remain one of the more marginalised.
