Hi All,

Recently, our company announced that they were going to outsource IT Department to other company.
Therefore, all of us have been retrenched. This made my job hunting activities started again.
I did apply quite number of jobs in Jobstreet. Had been for 1 interview so far and another one will be on next week.
Apart from that, I have also put some efforts by contacting job agencies, asking referral from friends etc

This morning, I contacted my friend and forwarded my resume to her. Unfortunately, I received a very bad feedback from her.
She said, most of the MNC in Penang ONLY hire Chinese for IT position.
Even though the HR personnel had recommended other races as candidate, the chance is ZERO!
Is this really happening in Penang? I was so frustrated after heard that from her. Why there is no equally treatment given for others?

because racist

Racing betul lah. Sedih.

So terrible.

Wah, so racist.

i never got job in penang.most reason skill no like no degreee .must fresh and cheap.outsource it department.luck on company secret data. said to boss of you.

i do believe this happened. my dept used to be 99.9% chinese.

On the other hand the MNC company I'm in in PJ is pushing for malay in engineering position.
The last 4 engineers hired are malay. When asked HR they say only malay applied. But the fact is others applied too.

Reason is I prefer a mix so that when comes festive season, some can work while some Balik kampung

Now you can see that PM's 1Malaysia's concept has failed. Malaysia Boleh!

Hi, may i know which IT field you're in? I may be able to help out

Sorry for your bad experience. One of the company that I've worked for had a malay technician whom was sponsored for bachelor education.

He completed his his degree and was promoted to an engineer. Don't give up

I wonder why the MNCs are so unprofessional when they are hiring people for their organization.
Better they just eliminate the MNC status and let it be Chinaman company.

try to apply gomen

old story.

been happening for ages.

come on la..nanti time festive , bleh gilir cuti

No. Thanks. I'm not interested to work with government.

Friend of mine, Indian, in Penang, join MNC company with 2 year exp, 4 month after he join, another guy also with 1 year exp join the company, Chinese, salary RM700 more than him.
To make him feels better, I keep saying that during interview stage why he didn't nego the salary. He said he did but no luck. Have you guys experience same situation before?
I hope I will not get the same fate as him. So scare since I also working with the same environment like him.

Yes.it's racist,I agreed it,but there must be reason for being racist.In my experience,I worked in other MNC company before,worked together with Chinese & non-Chinese(Malay/India),One thing I found between my teammate.
Chinese,you asked to do one thing,he will do and suggest better improvement.
Non-Chinese,you asked to do one thing,he will do for it,once done he will not tell you done already,until you ask him.Bro,done already?Oh ya.already.sweating.
I have alot non-Chinese friends and colleague too,some of the really smart and hardworking.But,wondering why majority or High Percentage of Non-Chinese always giving disappointing feel,always have problem is laziness,MC always.really curious.this might be reason ,some employer stated the statement Chinese ONLY,although I am not agreed with it and it's racist.

There must be a reason to be racist? You want to sound right but you justifying racism?

I been working with an MNC, Chinese, GLC companies during my employment. From my observation, when you lump a specific race together, they tend to be comfortable and no longer progressive. A group of Malay in GLC are among the laziest people that I observed, a group of Chinese in manufacturing are among the rudest and resistant to change.

I also have a lot of Chinese friend and colleagues and since I'm working in a Chinese dominated company, I also encountered a lot of claim falsify, leave manipulation, backstabbing, politikking, bad-mouthing and etc. I solely blame the individual instead of blaming the entire race on this.

But why should generalize all NON-Chinese people are the same and never seen the potentials on the candidate itself?
Have you ever encountered Chinese with bad attitude as well?

At my previous company and in my, team there are two Chinese guys who always missing in action and coming late to work.
The monthly ticket done by them also very less if compared with others but no action is done due to the manager is Chinese also.
