KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia should take a major step towards creating a single national identity by removing the "race" category from all official forms in the country, says Tan Sri Joseph Kurup.

The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department said it was sad that Malaysians were still divided by racial and religious identities, even after 50 years of independence.
