Rural Development minister Ismail Sabri said he was “shocked” by the police report lodged against him by two SUPP Youth leaders who claimed his speech on setting up a Low Yat Plaza 2' for Malay traders was seditious.

“I did not know that to promote bumiputera entrepreneurs could be deemed as a crime, until there were people who lodged a police report against me,” Ismail said in Penang today.
