It Is Telling That Bolehland Is Perhaps The Only Country In The World That Took To The Streets To Protest ICERD

Bolehland looks like the only country in the world to take to the streets to protest against ICERD.

This is telling because we are in fact telling the world that we do not subscribe to the idea of human dignity, equality and justice. Because at its core, ICERD is about all those things. Not about race, religion or the monarchy.

It is telling because Bolehland is one of only two Muslim countries in the world that have yet to ratify the UN convention. The other is Brunei.

It is telling because the only two other non-Muslim countries in the world that have not ratified ICERD are North Korea and Burma. The irony is that many see North Korea as a rogue state and Bolehland roundly condemns Burma for discriminating against and suppressing the minority Muslim Rohingas.

Yet here in Bolehland we openly took to the streets to protest against ICERD hahaha....

PAST & dUMNo don't care that they are exploiting race and religion to further their political ends in the name of protecting the Malays and Islam when all that ICERD is about is not against race or religion.

What ICERD is ultimately all about is about human dignity, equality and justice. If those things are considered anathema to race and religion, you are telling the world that Islam and the Malays do not believe in nor subscribe to the idea of human dignity, equality and justice.

How desperate and pathetic some people seem to be, exploiting race and religion for their own selfish purposes.

Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder

Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
