When Political Discourse Turns Incendiary

A Molotov cocktail was thrown into Beruas MP Ngeh Koo Ham’s house, causing a fire. This comes two weeks after he made remarks on including non-Muslims in a special committee on Syariah law, which he later withdrew. We discuss the incident, and how highly charged political rhetoric should be mitigated.
