Minister regrets his remarks caused racial tension while MCA president calls for closure on the issue.

PETALING JAYA: After adamantly refusing to apologise over statements that were deemed racist in nature, Ismail Sabri Yaakob has finally expressed his regrets that so much racial tension has ensued because of it.

It was never my intention to cause tension and racial polarisation. My remarks were only directed at traders who continued to refuse to bring down the prices of goods regardless of their race, he was quoted by The Star Online as saying.

He also regretted that his comments had gone viral, leaving it open to misinterpretation and added, I regret that my remarks have caused uneasiness.

Showing his support for Ismail was MCA president Liow Tiong Lai who said it was now time to put the matter to rest and move on.

As my colleague, Datuk Seri Ismail has officially issued a statement of regret and as a member of the Cabinet, I take note of his statement of regret and hope that this matter is put to rest and we shall move on.

Liow said his party had stayed firm on the issue and that at the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Ismail was instructed to take responsibility for urging Malays to boycott Chinese traders who refused to lower the prices of their goods.

The Cabinet agreed that the matter must be stopped immediately. Barisan Nasional will continue to defend and protect the interests of all races.

The Prime Minister wants all parties to concentrate on efforts to instil the spirit of national unity, Ismail Sabri added.

He also called on the public, angered though they were, to refrain from personally attacking members of his family over the statement he made.

CAIRO Survivors described it as a corridor of death: a narrow route of high, chain-link security fences and barbed wire that thousands of soccer fans were filing through before entering the stadium to watch their teamplay.

Then, mayhem broke out. Those at the front of the line were turned back by police. Those in the back continued to press forward. Jittery police fired tear gas into the middle of the crowd, creating what survivors said was like a whirlpool sucking people into a crush of bodies with no wayout.

The stampede killed 22 people Sunday night at the Air Defense stadium, a military facility in an eastern suburb of Cairo, prior to the game between Egyptian Premier League clubs Zamalek andENPPI.

Home TV Recaps The Originals season 2, episode 13 recap: Mending fences

Trust is a funny idea in the Mikaelson family. See which bonds are repaired, and which might be cut forever in our recap of The Originals season 2, episode 13.

The episode begins with Finn trying to locate Hope via a locator spell with zero luck, especially when the maps all catch fire. Whoops. Freya shows up and reveals herself to him, and he seems to think its too good to be true.

Rebekah does as she was told, and lets Klaus and Elijah know about Freyas existence. Klaus is a little taken aback by the news, and wants to know if Rebekah happened to learn whether Dahlia is also set to return now that Freya is actually alive. Rebekah has nothing to report on that front.

Hayley is a little miffed about why people are leaving brooms on the porch where she and Jackson are staying. He tells her that its a tradition, in which the pack gives the couple permission to jump the broom and consummate the marriage before the actual ceremony. Hayley is a little slow on the uptake, but as soon as she sees what Jackson is referring to, she gets understandably flustered. Jackson then shows her the crib he began building for baby Hope before they learned of her death. Now that shes alive and well, he is determined to finish it.

We also learn that packs from further away are wishing to bend the knee and acknowledge Jackson as their Alpha in order to get in on the perks of this supernatural wedding. Jackson remarks that Hayley is going to have one hell of an army to protect her little girl when this marriage is all said and done.

Klaus finds out from Aiden that Vincent (Finn) has Marcel, and Kol shows up to tell them about the curse that Vincent has put on him. Klaus is hesitant to believe him, what with all the backstabbing and games that Kols been playing lately, but when Rebekah insists hes telling the truth, Klaus listens.

As Elijah is trying to fix a little breakfast, Hope pulls on a cloth and yanks a knick-knack down onto her head. A cut and a little blood send Elijah back to visions of the Red Door, but Cami snaps him out of it.

Back at the Mikaelson compound in the city, Kol is having trouble with a spell to locate Finn and Marcel. Klaus suggests a stronger witch, but Kol is reluctant to let Davina know about the death curse hovering over his head. Klaus asks Kol if he can remember the spell Finn used to trap him in his current body, so that they can use Finns own idea against him. Kol cant remember, so Klaus intimidatingly suggests that he pluck it out of Kols mind. Kol is NOT happy about it. As soon as Klaus starts digging around in there, he finds out that Kol was trying to create a dagger to put Klaus out of commission. Klaus not happy.
