Only in Malaysia where applying for jobs they ask you everything except how big are your privates are.

I got into a ang moh company without even asking for IC or even getting back ground checks. Granted its a small firm, but their attitude to the thing is something i like.

Compare to the local bank ones, they ask for family member name, ic, occupation, age, gender (as if put name on separate mom and dad section not enough). Heck even Borders Malaysia also ask this question.

So to you so-called HR specialist or what not, do you really need to ask all these seemingly unrelated questions for job applications?
