KUALA LUMPUR: The latest annual report on racial discrimination by rights group Pusat Komas says political parties from both sides of the divide continued to resort to racial politics last year, with a spike in racially charged public statements during the ICERD controversy in late 2018.
“These cases provide clear examples of violations of basic rights which are enshrined in the Federal Constitution and are based on the definition of racial discrimination,” it said. “Such efforts are highly lauded as these positive voices are needed in efforts to counter the issue of racial discrimination in Malaysia,” it said.
The report urged the Pakatan Harapan government to reconsider its decision not to ratify ICERD, or the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
Zaman saya sekolah dulu tak berlaku sebab semua bangsa belajar di bawah satu bumbung sekolah. Sama ada dalam sekolah Inggeris atau Kebangsaan. Sekarang makin banyak SRJK makin dalam jurang perkauman tersebut.
Not enough to report it generally. Get specifics out + make recommendations for changes. Bersih and other NGOs must act. We must start somewhere so let’s get going. Don’t leave to the politicians they are not fit for this job. Only if their electability is challenged- shame them
i hope u mean discriminatory towards the minorities n not to the majority.
