    I AGREE!!!! Apart from race, stop asking for religion as well!!! Like wtf? What religion got to do with applying a credit card? The thing I hate the most is religion in our ID (is there a race as well?), thank God there is none in the passport, hahahah!

    I totally agree with you. I always pause when I come across the ‘race’ in forms, reason being, not sure what to answer… What to answer when you are neither Malay, Chinese nor Indian? I always ticked ‘Others’, also happens to the ‘religion’ field. Hehehe..

    BTW, have you check out their website?

    agreed. there’s no point asking “race” bukan nya u can pilih u want to di lahirkan as “kadazan” even if i am so proud to be one, but there’s no point for asking what am i. and talking about religion in the form lagi la bikin panas. u see religion is personal, it’s between GOD and Me. it’s nothing to do with the government or whoever if I am sinful or not, unless government or whoever want to become GOD la.

    now i have this exam that that conduct in this country, in the hope that it’s examine fairly and independently, but i also heard this quota that apply to non bumi and bumi. what the heck?? one can think that this quota will eventually effect my exam even how hard I try to pass my exam…afraid i am not qualify in either both classification.

    malaysian? maybe just a dream…

    Faiez – Yes, race and religion, what the fuck for?

    deedee – Tell me about it. Must be some dunguloid.

    Lisalicious – Of course it’s earth, but in the context of this post, I’m directing it to bumiputeras of UMNO especially.

    Mimi – Yeah, I wish they create a separate field called “Mind your own business”. I’m sure loads would tick that. I would. I’ve not checked out their website, does it have instructions on how to become a martyr by blowing yourself up? LOL!

    nicktay – Tell me about it. I hope so too.

    IRTeA – Racism is inevitable, but can be minimized.

    Ulquiorra – The Dan-Lain-Lain crew. LOL.

    sheela – Exactly. Even BUMIPUTERAS are marginalized, Malay Bumi vs Other Bumi. Pathetic.

    Bumi Pest ? ugh.

    oh, and I hate how they just set one whole ethnic group apart by simply putting “anak perempuan this”, “anak lelaki that” on the identity card and mar our names. Some people only have a first and last name, but no. apparently the registration dept just doesn’t respect that.

    if only someone could talk some horse sense into them to make them understand that racial politics is so pre-World War II.

    troisnyx* – Yeah, we can go on and on about it but then some dope might complain to ISA and they throw us behind bars. A loophole for them.
