context_page_description: The Anti-ICERD Rally or Himpunan Aman Bantah ICERD is a rally that was held in Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on December 8, 2018. The rally were organised by opposition political parties Malaysian Islamic Party and United Malays National Organisation, with the support of various non-governmental organisations.
  The rally was held in response to the new Malaysian government's ratification of the UN convention known as International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. The opposition parties from UMNO and PAS seriously deny the convention to be ratified as it is contrary to the constitution, especially Malay and Bumiputra special rights. Even though the government have announced to not ratify the convention on 23 November 2018, the organiser decided to push on with the rally and shifted its main focus towards celebrating government's decision on not ratifying ICERD.
