Subramaniam - Cabinet wants proof |
He was speaking at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting here Wednesday.
Dr Subramaniam said the Cabinet expressed disappointment over the alleged remarks by BTN deputy director Hamim Husin at a function on Monday.
He said ministers present during the meeting were upset to hear of the allegations and wanted a full investigation.
"All we have now is a report on an online portal, claiming the deputy director made racist remarks.
"This is not enough to take action against the person involved. Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Sidek Hassan has been directed to investigate the allegations first, before any action is taken."
