Contradictheory: ICERD gets the death penalty in Malaysia

Malaysian protesters from several Islamic political parties and NGOs torch a 'Barua ICERD' dummy during an assembly in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, to rally Muslims against the ratification of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD).

No point in writing about ICERD, I suppose, since the issue has been put to rest. First, the government made it clear that they were making a U-turn on ratifying the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.

However, the opposition still plans to protest against it. Funny thing, the protesters have a clear case why they don’t want ICERD, but the government is struggling to explain their decision.
