Project Irrelevant

Now this project is closer to home, because it requires active participation from you.

You won't get tear-gassed or sprayed with chemicals for this, I can assure you. But making a stand - walking the talk - can be a little intimidating, especially if it involves bureaucratic government servants.

It's about those pesky little forms we've been filling out since the dreaded UPSR exam. I presume it started prior to that, but my parents did the dirty deed for me back then.

You know the questions that those forms ask? The questions that really don't need to be asked? About sex, race and religion?


They've irked me for so long. Evidently, they irritate my friend Pat, as well. Pat is quite a character and if we had more people like her, we could really get this ball rolling.

Now Haris Ibrahim of The People's Parliament has a suggestion on how to end this sort of racial profiling - by putting into action Project Irrelevant.

Refuse to answer those questions, folks. Don't let the government intimidate you into doing what we have done for over 52 years.
