Our DPM states that the cabinet is studying to remove the column requiring a person to provide information on his race in official forms.
This is in line with our PM's 1Malaysia concept. The decision was immediately welcomed by people from all communities! Wow! Impressive! But why?
Datuk Samy said this would make everybody feel "more Malaysian".
UMNO Youth chief, Khairy Jamaluddin said it would "put away whatever racial barriers there may be".
Johor MP Datuk Nur Jazlan said "it will ensure there is no bias when people deal with government staff as in the past, I received complaints that Malay Civil servants tended to put documents from non-Malays last". Yes! You realised!
But wait, is this important? Does stating your race and not stating your race make any difference here? Please tell me you cannot tell the race of the following names :
Muhammad Nizam - race ???
Nur Alisa Nordin - race ???
Tan Lian Mei - race ???
Kevin Lo - race ???
Matthew Nathan Kumar - race ???
Kavitha Das - race ???
Long Josi Patnik - race ???
Do I need to say more?
