KUALA LUMPUR: Stop turning the recent argument over Bak Kut Teh into a religious issue and show respect to the country’s multi-racial structure, says Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.
“The recognition of Bak Kut Teh as a heritage food is also based on the National Heritage Act 2005 and does not involve issues of race or religion,” the Bintulu Member of Parliament told the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday . “I feel that there is no need to explain the matter further as there are already a lot of discussions being held on social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and others.
