Yesterday i mc-ed...and went to clinic...i dont usually go to clinic if its not because of mcert...so yesterday after i passed my ic to the nurse + clerk...
she asked me... "are u malay, chinese or indian?"
"im a kadazan"
"but we dont have that file..."
then create one, i thought..."u cannot create a new file?" well who am i right?
"Our filing system only have malay chinese, indian and foreign worker...ur definitely not a foreign worker right...bcos u have i.c. ur a malaysian"...with a singsong sound
somehow i had a feeling that she thinks im a foreign worker with an illegal i.c...shite..
yeah definitely not a foreign worker...
"so where do u want me to put ur name...
i put your name under malay?"
"no no"
"so where do u want me to put your name?"...
somehow i think they forgot that sabahan and sarawakian also malaysian...every year when i watch hari merdeka commercials they always involve malay chinese and indian...does kadazan fall under the category of malay...or maybe chinese...indian?...hmmm nope...
well u know i guess because the percentage of malay chinese and indian are the highest in malaysia...so that could be a good reason...who knows...i havent done my research so whatever i say could be wrong...
maybe they should add one more file for 'other malaysian'...
mmm
for the first time in my life...i qualified as a 'chinese'...ya la...chinese la...
in future..we should state ourselves as PRIBUMI....ask the tanah melayu to update their filing system..MAYBANK has done so...our pangkat more higher that malayu...cos we are the native of our LAND....malayu punya org tu menginap di tanah org asli ...
ReplyDeleteI experienced the same thing babe! went to KWSP to do my account. And they couldn't process my application for awile bcoz there's no assignated column for our race. I tried Dusun, Kadazan, KadazanDusun, SinoKadazan. And they wanted to put me under Chinese tab as well because i look like one. *wtf*
ReplyDeleteAnd they thought I either coverted into Christianity or a transvertite *horrors*
I argued and asked them to check with Jabatan Pendaftaran.
I have to wait one hour for that
*Scoffs*
