Yes and no. Yes it can be polite pending you're tone of voice and body language and of course if the person is not easily offended. (but that's rare nowadays.)
If you're just bluntly saying it or "snidely" (saying it with an attitude like you're better than them.) Than yes you will be stepping on their toes.
So it really depends on how you say it and how well you know the person.

@QLiu instead of say "politely suggesting" I would say "Simply saying". When you "suggest" something you are offering advice to help them improve.
