Reintroduce Rome Statute via Parliament — Patriot
APRIL 8 — Patriot shares the disappointment as expressed by G25 Malaysia that the government has yielded to pressure from dissenting groups and decided to withdraw the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court after acceding to it. This makes it a double flip-flop after what happened to ICERD.
It appears that the whole episode of the protest against ratification of the Rome Statute of the ICC has been staged, with the ulterior motive to bring down the democratically elected government or the prime minister. It is doubtful that those street protesters have the slightest comprehension of the Rome Statute of the ICC, and how it challenges our Constitution and the position of the Malay rulers. As in most cases of a sinister campaign, first a mob-for-hire group would be mobilised.
Any coercion of our democratically elected government or the prime minister to step down through sinister means or by force is against the will of the people. Patriot will not stand idle watching such irresponsible and undemocratic conduct.
