No equal opportunities here

We are looking for an apartment, and one of the questions the agents keep asking is, "What is your race?" Also, posting specify, "No Chinese," or, "Malay only." It's really weird to be questioned on your race when applying for housing.

Also, the military is mandatory here for men, but not for women (women cannot be in the military here). So if women decide to become police officers, they do not get paid as much as men for the same jobs because the men have more training.
