Then what does the race column is meant for??? EXAMPLE:Robert Tan Kim Fook; religion Buddhist....we know he's a chinese Subramaniam; religion Hindu......we know he's an indian Malik Noor; religion Islam.......we know he's a malay.  The name and the religion carries ample identification of an individual. Then why do we need the race column. i remembered reading an article in The Star some times back by a tourist. Coincidently Malaysia is his second home. He himself have travelled around the world and had resided several countries before he came to Malaysia. One of his remark was that ; "Malaysia is the most racist country in the world, not that he sees racial discrimination, but of the need to know of one's race in every formal documentation and how they are identified. Apart from that, he mentioned that in his country, everybody are known acoording to their nation. Example; Robert Tan Kim Fook is from Australia, he's not a chinese but an Austaralian.
