KUALA LUMPUR: Chants of "racist" by opposition lawmakers forced Minister in the Prime Minister's Department P. Waytha Moorthy to cut short his reply on the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) in Parliament.

The ruckus began when Waytha Moorthy, who is in charge of National Unity and Social Wellbeing, started speaking on ICERD and said that consultations with relevant stakeholders would be held in the first quarter of 2019.
