Shut up and work lah

Nazri pushes zero tolerance against racist principals - The Malaysian Insider:
Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz stepped up today to fill the palpable silence of his Cabinet colleagues over the racial uproar caused by two school principals, saying that the government should take severe action and show “zero tolerance” for such “racist educators”.
The school principal in question had allegedly said that Chinese could go back to China, and  likened Indians to dogs. She was not reprimanded for her remarks. 
All in all, this is a welcomed response from Nazri indeed! I must say that things are getting interesting... 
From the same report:
When asked for his opinion on the status of the country's race relations, Nazri was quick to point out that the only problem lay with the nation's leaders.
“Nothing wrong with the rakyat... only the leaders are getting all racial with one another. On the ground, the people are mixing well,” he said.
The Padang Rengas MP pointed out that in his constituency, there were no problems between the different racial communities.
“They work well together. Only the leaders are talking a lot and behaving badly. That’s why I always believe that it is better for them to shut up and just go and work,” he said.
