'Race C bribes, Race M receives', says Terengganu exco on corruption

Published: Jan 22, 2026 12:22 PM | Updated: Jan 22, 2026 4:16 PM

Stirring up controversy, a Terengganu state executive councillor claimed that "Race C often gives bribes whilst Race M often receives bribes" - a reference to the ethnic Chinese and Malay communities, respectively.

Agriculture, food security and commodities executive councillor Azman Ibrahim (above) made the remarks in a response to a Sarawakian MP who had defended the Dayak community by saying that while his people eat pork, they do not engage in corruption...

This comes after an MP chided those making an issue over pork consumption.
