Dr N Sathia Prakash says debate over the word ‘return’ only diverts attention from the real issue of the content of Sanusi Nor's speech.

From the original report

PETALING JAYA : Selangor PKR election director Dr N Sathia Prakash says he made a mistake when claiming that Perikatan Nasional election director Sanusi Nor had told Chinese and Indians to “go back” to China and India. However, Sathia said the error did not affect the basis of the police report filed against Sanusi last Friday over a speech that was allegedly capable of inciting racial sentiments. He said he wanted to highlight the implied meaning of Sanusi’s entire speech.

“I admit there was an error when I repeated the speech by using the word ‘return’,” Sinar Harian quoted him as saying.

This is a brief of a report by another newsroom. The excerpt below is from the original.
