I don't want to be called "Bangsa Asing" (foreigners) or Non-Malay or Chinese/Indian/Punjabi,etc or "Lain-Lain" (others). I just want to be called a Malaysian. Why are there race columns in almost all the application forms or surveys? Why I must I state my race in my identity card? Why must the Labour Dept do a yearly survey inquiring which race (and how many) are employed in a company? Why does businesses, licenses and approved permits (particularly those controlled by the Government) asked for the Malay quota to be fulfilled just to qualify. Why does a Malay gets more scholarships, loans, subsidies, discounts and favours than a Non-Malay?
I am not a foreigner in Malaysia.
