In today's Today, Ooi Kee Beng wrote a piece entitled "Can Najib (the Malaysian PM) drop 'Malays' from UMNO. The Malaysian PM is trying to get his government to drop the need to specify one's race in official documents.
Singapore has actually gone through the similar exercise of reviewing the need for job applicants to fill up information about sex, marital status, religion, race, weight and height in the application forms or even advertisers specifying the criteria of their potential hires.
For advertising matters, there are editors to ensure compliance but how about employers? Are they still using forms from the third world?
What is your experience on the above? Just wondering whether the above is actually being practiced in the real world. Share your view at AnythingWithEdgar.
