Heroes welcome for a racist?

Just see how the wrong people get appreciated in modern society:

Back then, in the late 19th century, there existed many Malay warriors that fought to defend the independence of their community which consist of people of their own race. There was Hang Tuah, Datuk Bahaman, Mat Kilau, Dol Said, Tok Janggut, Mat Salleh, Datuk Maharaja Lela, Tok Gajah, Datuk Bentara Luar Johor, Rentap and Tun Perak.

But, that was back then and we are living in current times, the 21st century to be exact, almost 150 years since that time in history of the Malay warriors. The reason why I am emphasizing on how long ago that event in history had hapened is because there exist such people now, who are still fighting for the same cause that is fighting for their own race rather than for all Malaysians which I label as being racist!

Malaysia is now a result of the merger of multiple races; Malays, Chinese, Indians and Others. Times have changed and so should the people have changed but sadly it has not been realized.
Malaysia will not be what it is today if not for all Malaysians who played a part in nurturing it.

Deffinitely in the years of the Malay Warriors, such a person would be considered a hero for fighting for his / her race. But in todays world, if the same were to apply, they are nothing but racist!

From the Constitution of Malaysia:

Article 8

Article 8 by clause (1) provides that all persons are equal before the law and entitled to its equal protection.

Clause 2 states: “Except as expressly authorised by this Constitution, there shall be no discrimination against citizens on the ground only of religion, race, descent, gender or place of birth in any law or in the appointment to any office or employment under a public authority or in the administration of any law relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of property or the establishing or carrying on of any trade, business, profession, vocation or employment.”

I wonder why the person who made such racist remarks is not caught under ISA as a threat to Malaysia?
