Malaysia Bans Yellow To Prevent Protests Against Corruption
By Daily Kos - Xanthophobia: fear of the colour yellow.
On Thursday, the Home Ministry of Malaysia decided to ban a primary color.
Why? Because the people of Malaysia have gotten sick of the political corruption.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators in Malaysia defied police orders on Saturday, massing in the capital in a display of anger at the government of Prime Minister Najib Razak, who has been accused of corruption involving hundreds of millions of dollars.
The demonstration in central Kuala Lumpur, which had been planned for weeks, was declared illegal by the Malaysian police, and on Friday the government went as far as to pass a decree banning the yellow clothing worn by the protesters.
