Khairy Jamaluddin has called on Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah to resign over the government's decision not to ratify the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Icerd).
"Foreign affairs minister should take responsibility and resign. This is not a small blunder,” he tweeted this evening.
The Rembau MP pointed out that Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had made the commitment to ratify Icerd during the United Nations general assembly, and not some “kampung ceramah”.
In an earlier tweet, Khairy said Putrajaya's decision was expected.
"Saifuddin and Wisma Putra caused this major blunder by not thinking this through and convincing Mahathir to make the commitment at UNGA (UN general assembly). Not Wisma Putra's finest hour.
"Now an embarrassing, but necessary, backtrack," he added.
Responding to a Twitter user, whom in an obvious reference to Umno, asked which party is responsible for the situation, Khairy replied: “No party is responsible for anything.”
“This Malay backlash is real. Not manufactured. No matter how hard you tell yourself it is,” he added. - Mkini
