Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir’s daughter Melia Serena took to Instagram expressing her disappointment at the participants of the anti-ICERD (International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination) rally.
The 17-year-old posted a picture on her Instagram story with the caption,
“Disgusting. Take all offence, I don’t care. Extremely disappointing.”
She also stated that the 2020 vision was gone because of the participants of the anti-ICERD rally.
According to The Star, Melia Serena also posted another Insta story believed to be aimed at those who had sent her direct messages in response to her earlier anti-ICERD post.
Melia Serena wrote of how several members of her own race can be hateful, discriminating and such bullies.
“One thing they don’t agree on, they’d immediately stalk you and say the most hurtful things just because they are triggered and bothered.
She added that she is unfazed by those who disagree with her.
“If you think commenting negative stuff would make me regret what I said or make me feel bad about myself, you’re fooling yourself really. I’m really just chillin.”
In response to her Instagram story, several have taken the fight to Twitter posting screenshots of her statement.
Dear Mukhriz, please teach your daughter what it means to be hateful, discriminating and being a bully. I’ll leave u with a quote from Human Rights Watch "Mahathir's human rights legacy is not one to be proud of”
