Speech not racist
Mohd Khairul noted that Mohd Noor's speech was constructive and was in line with the federal constitution.
"His speech should not be considered racist because he is only speaking about stipulations in the constitution," said Mohd Khairul, according to Bernama.
Contrary to claims by Mohd Khairul, many mainstream news organisations were represented at the event and had reported on it.
In fact, the event had also been publicised by Bernama, the federal government's news agency, before it was held.
