People who are demanding their rights are not demanding more rights than others, said social activist Marina Mahathir in a keynote speech to commemorate World Human Rights Day today.
Speaking at Suhakam’s 20th anniversary function in Kuala Lumpur, Marina said minorities are often mispresented as trying to get special treatment, when in reality they just wanted to be treated as equals.
Meanwhile, Marina also noted that minority groups continue to be victims of a mindset left over from colonial times, that certain races, religions and gender are superior to others.
She said the concept has contributed to a cycle of abuse and violence against women, children, sexual minorities and Muslims who do not subscribe to the majority Sunni school of thought in Malaysia.
