Why no action taken by law-officer to uphold Malaysia law on hate speech?

Although Malaysia does not have a single law addressing hate speech, we have several laws that address different aspects of it: incitement as well as dissemination of offensive or hateful speech.
The Sedition Act outlaws speech, action, publication, and distribution of materials deemed seditious — which is defined as the tendency to incite hatred, contempt, disaffection against any Ruler, Government, the administration of justice in Malaysia, promote feelings of hostility between different races, and question any right or privilege protected in the Federal Constitution.

Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act criminalises the use of network facilities or services to transmit any communication deemed offensive and could cause annoyance to another person.

The Printing Presses and Publications Act bans the printing or production of materials that would incite violence against anyone or property, or to provoke hatred and disharmony.

Section 298A of the Penal Code criminalises any words or actions deemed to cause disharmony or hatred on grounds of religion.

Section 503 to 505 of the Penal Code forbids threats, insults, statements or rumours intentionally made or circulated against anyone or any community to provoke peace.
