It all started with a simple rental inquiry.
@kny_sunset__catcher, a proud Kadazan from Sabah, was texting a property agent to find a place to rent.
All was going smoothly – until the agent asked about his race.
When he replied, "Kadazan," the agent gave a shocking response:
"Our unit is allocated for local Malaysian ya."
Feeling confused and exasperated, he had to explain that a Kadazan is from Sabah, and that he is indeed a Malaysian.
He wasn't asking for much - just a roof over his head. But instead, he got discriminated over his identity.
Netizens chimed in the comments section with similar experiences:
Have you or someone you know ever been mistaken as non-Malaysian just because of your race or state? Let's talk about it.
