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.

Another study that show the same, Chinese candidate enjoys better callback rate than Malay

Surprising findings here is:
Chinese controlled company tend to call back Malay candidate more than Malay controlled company at 3.8% vs 3.4%
Malay controlled company call back Chinese candidate more than Malay candidate at 5.5% vs 3.4%

but K chinese will always protek...

If gay taliban crossdresser, will I be accepted

I thought new malaysia no discrimination?

“The resumes, Cent-GPS senior researcher Zaidel Baharuddin said, mentioned co-equal degree, CGPA, graduation, internship and communication skills for all the candidates.

“The results are tragic. Both our male and female Chinese candidates obtained more job callbacks than their Malay and Indian peers combined,” he told a media briefing here today.”

If that a genuine survey why cannot trust? Regardless who did the survey as long there is a clear method to show how they get their result. If there is no other survey disprove the survey the result still valid.

I pity Indians the most:

1) no bumi perks, many poor to begin with.
2) discriminated even by their peers from different caste
3) too small in number to make a hit even doing business (unless they sell something bumi wants)*

4) *if the do business to sell something that majority (read: bumi) wants.. they have bigger hurdles complying to Islamic standards**
