Datuk Nasir sekarang ini menjadi Pegawai Khas kepada Perdana Menteri dan berpejabat di Tingkat 1 Blok Timur, Pejabat Perdana Menteri, Putrajaya.(No talipon 019 3856471). I knew him since I was in school years as he was the Pontian district state assemblyman or the member of parliament (not sure on that) and always come to my school (sri perhentian) for any special ocassion to officiate it. Her daughter was also my classmate during my Arabic class. Quite a shock that have noticed he had (maybe accidentally) spoken racist statement that I surely convinced that most of the Chinese and Indian would pissed off with it.

Datuk Nasir Safar Will Tender Resignation
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 2 (Bernama) — Special Officer to the Prime Minister, Datuk Nasir Safar will tender his resignation from the post following racist remarks he allegedly made at a 1Malaysia seminar in Melaka Tuesday.

The Prime Minister’s office in a statement issued here Tuesday night said the remarks allegedly made by Nasir “does not in any way reflect the views of the Prime Minister.”

“Datuk Nasir never intended to make any derogatory remarks. He spoke at length on the contributions made by all races in developing the country.

“Nevertheless, Nasir apologises for any offence caused.

“In light of this, Datuk Nasir will tender his resignation,” the three-paragraph statement said.

Meanwhile MIC president Datuk Seri Samy Vellu, in condeming the remarks by Nasir, said that it did not reflect the Government’s stand and that it had hurt the feelings of the Malaysian Indians.

“His views are entirely the opposite of the goodwill shown by the Government and the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak) under the 1Malaysia concept,” he said in a statement issued here Tuesday.

He said Nasir should be punished under the Sedition Act for his derogatory remarks.

Meanwhile, MIC Youth secretary Shivarraaj Tuesday night lodged a police report in connection with the statement made by Nasir at Sentul Police station.

Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said the immediate action taken by Najib in response to the derogatory remarks by Nasir indicated the prime minister’s seriousness and commitment in ensuring the success of the 1Malaysia policy.

“This should act as deterrent to ensure that similar statements are not repeated by any quarters. The government of today is very receptive to the sensitivities of all communities,” said the MIC Vice President. — BERNAMA
