Article 8 of Malaysia’s Federal Constitution provides that all persons are equal before the law and entitled to the equal protection of the law, and that discrimination is prohibited based on religion, race, descent, place of birth or gender.

Here to share more about the findings of that survey and how we can better address discrimination is Jason Wee, Co-founder of Architects of Diversity Malaysia.
