Non Malays in civil service

The STAR quoted an asemblyman as saying;the 8,372-strong civil service of the Malaysian state of Johor has only 10 Chinese and 116 Indians.Bentayan assemblyman Gwee Tong Hian said in terms of percentage, Indians and Chinese made up 1.39 percent and 0.12 percent of the state civil service respectively.Gwee said the statistics were given to him in a written reply from Minister Abdul Ghani Othman.
Now let's hear from the MB Ghani, he said that in 2007, only five Indians applied for jobs in the civil service, with only two being short-listed and appointed and there were no Chinese applicants that year.
He added that in 2008, there were seven Indian applicants. Only four were appointed. As for Chinese applicants, only five applied, two were short-listed and appointed.
He said the commission had also taken initiatives to encourage non-Malays to join the civil service with programmes initiated by the state's Economic Planning Unit and Jobstreet.com.
Yes Ghani, I believe you that you are sincere and serious about allowing non-malays in the civil service. Let me tell you a story wait make it two; my cousin have been trying for a federal government and the Penang state civil service job for the last two years and she has not even received an interview appointment. Another cousin of mine from Perak even went to meet the MB, Zamby and what he received was only a support letter from him to the secretary of civil service and period. These are the two cases that happened within my family circle. So Ghani and your fellow UMNO government please don't wayang kulit with us!
