Malunya Malaysia

While doing research on my 15 000 word essay *chokes*, I was shocked to find out that Malaysia has not signed nor ratified two of the most prominent international treaties on human rights: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Covenant on Economic and Social, and Cultural Rights.

Seriously, even countries with abysmal human rights records like China, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan have signed these treaties already.. To me, this indicates the lack of willingness of Malaysia to improve its human rights situations. Surely, the first step you'll take if you're serious about this is to make yourself accountable to the international community.

On hindsight really, it's no wonder. So malu man..

Note: "malu"= Malay for humiliating
