This is fake. It already appeared on The Rakyat Post some time back and I debunked it.

Mkini n their agenda as racist instigator..

Idiots..

Nightmare experiences justify preventive measures. Even certain landlords don't want to rent out to people of their own community.... what does that say?. It only say the underlying problems of the lack of respect for rules and ethics within that community.

Stop portraying it like that. It's convenience to both. Chinese will eat pork and drink alcohol which Muslims will not like. There are girls only banner as well. Will you say sexism then?

Kaum india malaysia lupa diri akibat hiburan diri sehingga kaum india dimalaysia semua bodoh belaka .. .

This reminds me of the Puncak Alam case. I think sometimes religions divide people. All religions teach us good things, but it’s some people who create the issue, especially when it involves radical politicians from racial or religious based parties. We are all Malaysians.

So far I’ve heard Chinese or Muslim only.

Malay only? Don't think I've heard of that. Appears that MKini is trying to drag others in.. Especially since there's only very small percentage of Malays who own homes for let, & those that does hardly mind who their tenants are as long as their houses are being tenanted out.

No shit sherlock
