PETALING JAYA: A senator has argued that a purely merit-based system may be impractical in Malaysia, suggesting that a proportional approach would better reflect the country’s multiracial make-up.

Fuziah Salleh, the deputy domestic trade and cost of living minister, said merit should be applied with consideration for ethnic representation, adding that opportunities and benefits should be distributed in proportion to the population.

“For example, if 60% of the population belongs to a certain ethnic group, then merit should be applied within that proportion,” she said during yesterday’s recording of BBC World Questions at the Petaling Jaya Performing Arts Centre.
