KUALA LUMPUR, March 7 — Malays and Indians are more likely to experience discrimination when applying for jobs in the private sector, especially women of the two ethnicities, a survey by a think tank found.

The Centre for Governance and Political Studies said its study concluded that Malays and Indians face more hurdles to secure job interviews compared to Mandarin-speaking Chinese applicants who topped all callback rates from hiring companies.

The survey was an experimental study in which Cent-GPS researchers posed as different applicants from all three major ethnic groups, but with the same qualifications and other criteria deemed necessary to make them prime candidates.

“We found there is ethnic discrimination... Malays, yes, but the Indians suffer the worst,” Cent-GPS senior researcher Zaidel Baharuddin said at a media briefing here.

Inb4 sign icerd 1stsos

Wen pipul stole hp, they built digimall. Now pipul dowan hire them, built own company la wat else?!

What to do. Racist in denial. Ok to do to others but when kena icerd mana icerd.

could be a bigger picture move along racial lines; so many hina religion cases, and then this, many more to come i guess

divide and conquer

hahahahahahaha that's blackfacing woi     

There is no info on the companies at all.

Local company can mean bumi company (operations in Malaysia) or chinaman company (operations in Malaysia).

Or the company is foreign. Branch in Malaysia but HQ elsewhere with global operations.

If no info on this one, then the survey is 100% void.

Told u guys....stereotyping is the main prob for racism
