No evidence position of Malay Muslims under threat, says Shahrir


PETALING JAYA: There are no issues that could have threatened the position of Malay Muslims in the last seven months since the unity government was formed, says Umno veteran Tan Sri Shahrir Samad.

In a Facebook post yesterday, Shahrir claimed that the country under the Pakatan Harapan leadership in 2018 had sparked a protest when it tried to ratify the UN convention, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Icerd), seven months after the then coalition was sworn in.
