Malays' level playing field

My mother send me a text message last night which pointed out this article to me,


Discrimination Against Hiring Of Malay Graduates - UKM



I'm not really sure why my mother pointed out the article to me.

It's dated last year.

But she cautioned me,

"May (my Chinese name), I know you are passionate about these sorts of things, but please don't overdo it."

Okay Ma, I'm not going to.

I am just going to highlight some of the findings by the two senior lecturers from the University of Malaya, Dr Lee Hwok Aun from the Department of Development Studies and Dr Muhammed Abdul Khalid.

Race more than résumé quality is the main consideration for getting an interview for jobs in Chinese controlled and International companies in this country.

Overall 22.1% of the Chinese applicants receive call backs from prospective employers with the Malay applicants receiving only 4.2% call backs.


Analysis of the results was extensive with the figures clearly showing that there is discrimination against Malay graduates even in Malay controlled companies where the number of call backs received by Chinese candidates was 6.8% against 4.8% for Malay applicants.

As for the Chinese controlled companies out of the total resumes sent 24% of the Chinese applicants received call backs for interviews but only 6.8% Malay applications received call backs.

For foreign controlled companies the numbers are 22.9% for Chinese applicants with none of the Malay applicants getting any call back.

I advise you to read the entire article at the link above. Don't be lazy.

Actually, I had discussed this article with a Chinese friend when it first came out last year.

My friend said the Chinese controlled companies have the right to do whatever they like.

"It's their money, what," he said, adding that in contrast the government-linked companies should not practice such discrimination as theirs are tax payers money.

Well, I think the GLC and the civil service are trying to open up their doors to all races. 

I can name a few which had done so, such as Sime Darby and Petronas.

But that argument about "It's our money, so we can do whatever we like" bothers me quite a bit.

Is it okay for the towkeys to discriminate because it's their own companies?

Is it okay to treat your workers like slaves because it's your own companies?

Is it okay to abuse your maid because you pay their salaries with your own money?

Sorry Ma, I have to ask those questions.

I hope I am not going overboard and make you upset.

Well, stupid Malays, you really think you are on a level playing field?

Go figure. 

p.s Ma, I think Pa more handsome than that Dr Lee, okay.

  1. Thank you for bringing up this issue. It has been known for a long time actually, it is just that the Malay applicants couldn't be bother about it anymore. These are some of the tactics used by them to systematically sidelined the Malay applicants in any organisation:

    1. If the Head of Human Resources is Chinese you are most likely have to kiss your application goodbye, for you will never be good enough for them;

    2. If the Head of Human Resources is Malay, but the Head of Department who is hiring is Chinese, again you can kiss your application goodbye;

    3. In order to cover the blatant discrimination practice, they will hire the Malays for a lower positions in the department so that it won't be that obvious;

    4. If you are a registered applicant or have registered your CV/Resume in a very popular recruitment portal you may have also been a victim of another type of discrimination. Sometime in 2007, a former staff told me that the said recruitment company unknown to many have also discriminated the Malay applicants over the other race. His friend who worked there and had since left discovered that.

    5. I have commented about this in here or in Helen's blog before. For the Malay job seeker and new graduates out there, please do not get disheartened. We always believe that "Rezeki itu datang dari Allah swt". Thus here is what you need to do:

    a. Look for the job advertisement in the said portal that interest you;

    b. Go to the company websites and look under career, and check whether the same position is posted there. Even it is not there you can still apply for sometimes to forget to update them;

    c. Look at the list of Management Team, and look for the Head of Human Resource, Name and E-mail;

    d. Send your application directly to the Head of Human Resources, if there is no email address available you can send a hard copy of your application directly to the office address; another option is by calling the general line and ask for HR department and ask for the email address if possible;

    e. For additional measure, please also search for the department that is hiring and send a copy to head of department as well;

    f. There is reason why you are doing this. Many of the time I was informed that the said recruitment company had allegedly and purposely suppressed your applications favoring the other race application;

    P.S

    KPJ Heatlcare, KFC Malaysia, Tabung Haji, Bank Rakyat, Koperasi Tentera, Felda FGV are few examples of Malay dominated organisations that are very successful. These organisations have been recognized internationally unknown to many of you.

    If your care to read the SME business portal, you will see more and more successful Malay entrepreneurs and they are very young and vibrant.

    I am giving you these examples so that you understand, whatever they can do, we can do better.

      I have voted for MCA and not Gerakan, because Gerakan was not a contender in my constituency, same with PPP. But that was before PRU13 but anymore sweetie. In case you missed the news, I have proudly declared that I am Ultra Totok Melayu UMNO Racist after PRU13.

      As for DAP, whoever Muslim vote and join DAP and knowing for a fact that DAP is anti-HUDUD and anti-Islam may Allah swt shows them mercy in the day of judgement if they do not repent.

    4. Spot on LOL. From now on I will only vote for UMNO. If my constituency is represented by MCA or Gerakan, I will abstain from voting. As far as I'm concerned, those 2 parties are dead and buried.

    5. Even before PRU 13, I have decided not to vote for MCA or Gerakan as, in their effort to win the Chinese votes, even then I could see that they were behaving exactly like the Dapsters. Luckily, my constituency was represented by UMNO. However, should our UMNO leaders continue to keep on kowtowing to the likes of the Cinabengs at the expense of the Malay's rights/interests, come PRU 14, my vote would only go to ISMA or none at all. Rasa-rasanya, duduk rumah tengok TV lagi baik daripada mengundi wakil yang akan menjahanamkan ugama dan kepentingan orang Melayu/Islam.

      Lihat pula kulit golongan yang suka makan apa saja, kulit mereka kelihatan banyak 'frackle' ( bintik bintik yang hodoh ), kasar dan kelihatan kesat!

      Maha Besar Allah yang melarang memakan apa apa sahaja bahan yang tidak halal. Itu baru kesan luaran, belum lagi dalaman.

      Itu sebabnya hati mereka keras mampu buat apa sahaja pada orang lain asalnya diri sendiri untung!

  3. Some of you may have received an email from a recruitment company that says "EMPLOYERS DON"T WANT YOUR APPLICATION EMAILED DIRECTLY TO THEM" and I was appalled when I read it. According to the email 76% of the employers prefer the application done via their company and not via E-Mail. Let us ask the company these questions:

    1. Is that based on their findings upon researching and sending survey to the prospective employers or is it based on complaints made by the respective employers who received the e-mail?

    2. 76% employers of the whole country?

    3. 76% employers of what industry?

    4. 76% employers out of 100 organisations you surveyed?

    5. 76% employers of Multi-National, GLC or SME?

    6. 76% employers that have signed MOU with you exclusively?

    7. 76% employers which Human Resource Head is of certain ethnicity?

    Let's look at the statement that says "Employers Don’t Want Your Application Emailed To Them Directly" . Can they explain to us how sure are they about that, whilst:

    1. Many of the advertisements posted by them are reproduced from other news papers and you don't have any reserved right over it:

    2. Many of the advertisements posted by them are reproduced from other recruitment agencies e,g. Michael Page International is one them, and these recruitment agencies have in fact advertised the same positions in their websites, with their own pool of potential applicants;

    3. Unless they have a special agreement and MOU with the respective employers, they have no right to claim that "Employers Don’t Want Your Application Emailed To Them Directly";

    P.S

    I believe the organization has seen a drop in their revenue and/or even pool of applicants, since I have alerted many of my friends last time, hence the said email

  6. The findings are totally not surprising. In fact it confirmed the general understanding of Chinese by the Malays. That is the reason why when DAP said they are multi racial, no right minded Malays believe them.

    DAP as an institution maybe multi racial, but an institution is not made up of laws and buildings only. It is the members that charted the course and we all know that majority of the DAP members are hardcore racists.

    Having said that, I'm not here to blame the Chinese. They are what they are - greedy, selfish, materialistic. Malays' problems are mostly due to their own characters - tak apa attitude, put more emphasis on the well being of their afterlife so they are mostly satisfied with their little wealth.

    Even the political problem that besiege the Malays now are due to Malays themselves - UMNO's weakness and corruption and PAS' successful brainwashing of "Islamic" agenda. If UMNO is led by strong, wise and clean leaders, I'm pretty sure Malays will be strong and united. Malays must also believe that they are capable of reaching greater heights.

    3. Anon 20:37 is right. The level of OxBridge graduates these days is not like in the old days where only the cream of the crop are accepted. I know this because I even proofread papers for students in Oxford. The ratio of international students to Britons in Oxford is 70:30 and these international students even consult external services for editing their assignments, projects, papers, etc to get better grades. In the old times, those who are admitted to OxBridge excel in English that they do not require proofreaders and they can compose everything themselves. International students are cash cows. Basically, if you have the money and you are willing to work very hard, then you can go to OxBridge. I also know of an Oxford graduate who can't produce good research and publications here - the last time he produced great research was when he was in Oxford since the research was his supervisor's proposal. Now all he does is 'menumpang' the publications of other people in research areas which are not even in his area of specialization. And I have seen those who graduated from local universities who can produce better research than him. At the end of the day, it is not so much about brilliance, it is about hard work and attitude. Even if a person gets straight As but doesn't mind cheating in the process, he or she will not learn much, really.

  11. So, if the Federal Constitution says Malay and Islam get priorities, don't complain meh, it's the Federal Constitution. If the government say cannot accept UEC, also cannot complain meh, it's their policy. If the government say cannot operate SJKC forever, also cannot complain meh, that was supposed to be temporary measures and it's against the Federal Constitution anyway. And the list go on lah.

    Want to bring up the tax-payer issue? Malays also pay tax one, you think all those lazy kucing kuraps don't pay tax eh? Even racist grandmothers also pay lor. Unlike those who work in the private sector, always say they pay tax more, where got one? They like to under-report their taxes and shunt numbers all over the places, that's why they want some stupid malays to demonstrate against GST lor, afraid cannot lie-lie anymore. They also very slow to adopt the minimum wage, always complain-complain one. What problem, more people earn, more people pay tax lah, where got problem?

    2. Exactly. Don't you all find it sooooooo funny that Himpunan Hijau, the NGO which tirelessly campaign against the Lynas rare earth plant in Kuantan by saying that it is radioactive and so on forth. When experts say the plant is safe and the mechanisms at work is safe, they claimed such expert reports cannot be trusted la, whitewash la, itu la, ini la.

      And then, when the Selangor Government, which opposed Langat 2 project by saying that Selangor has enough water for years to come, suddenly were caught with their pants down and cannot solve the water problem, decided to pump in air lombong which undoubtedly has heavy metals, we were told to accept the experts' opinion? How come there are many studies which show otherwise? How come they are so stingy with information about the safety of the air lombong? How come several scientists express concern. Oh pandai plak nk ugut saman.

      Best of all, how come Himpunan Hijau is soooooo elegantly silent about the whole issue? Do they know what is heavy metals toxicity? Do they know what heavy metals can do to humans especially children? Why so quiet? Kenapa tak nak pergi tunjuk perasaan as usual or better still threatened to burn the lombongs like they did against the Lynas plant?

      What a bunch of bloody hippocrites!! And don't let me start on what illegal pig farms can do to the environment. Don't trust me, go and ask the Singaporeans.

  12. Saya pertama kali masuk ke blog ini dan tertarik juga dengan isu ini , ada kenyataan bongkak , mengatakan taukey cinabeng ini semua bayar cukai jadi duit mereka mereka suka nak buat apa pun, kerajaan pakai duit rakyat jadi semua kena sama rata, Saya ambil pengalaman berniaga industri perkilangan plastik di penang sejak tahun 1995 sampai 2007. Kenyataan yang diberi tak tepat , boleh dikatakan hampir 90% taukey cina ini kalau masa bayar cukai mesti menipu selalu diaudit untung sikit atau rugi , bukan susah boleh tanya banyak auditor tapi kena songlap sikit kalau tanya buta macam tu tak dapatlah , Syarikat yang betul-betul bantu dana kerajaan adalah GLC seperti petronas, tenaga dan lain;lain mereka ini tulus mereka lah pemberi rezeki utama kepada pembangunan negara nak harap taukey cinabeng ini asyik-asyik untung sikit lepas bila untung sikit kata rugi mampus kerajaan bankrupt kalau nak tunggu duit mereka ini . jadi tak payah bongkak la . Ini kenyataan bukan fitnah tak percaya siasat . Lagi satu bab rasuah bila kena kaki tangan kerajaan bising wow , Tapi banyak orang tak tau sektor swasta lah yang mengamal rasuah 100 kali ganda berbanding sektor awam , Terutamanya dibidang pembeliaan barang bekalan syarikat multinasional kalau senior manager puak mereka habis orang melayu out , ri tak mampu bagi ringgit tiap-tiap bulan. saya ada kawan bukan taukey pun cuma senior manager multinasional bahagian pembelian ini bukan jutawan lagi dah tahap puluhan jutawan , ini bukan fitnah tapi fakta boleh siasat. Si beri rasuah pun semua bangsa mereka jadi nak buat macam mana , saya pernah bergaduh dengan kawan cina mereka bagi tau ini bukan rasuah ini sebahagian dari business Kalau dekat penang ini melayu nak berniaga jenis industri pengeluaran vendor pada multinasional disini boleh mimpi la kecuali jadi alibaba (bukan di negara China) Sebab kulit warna lain dia orang rabun warna . Tapi nak berniaga makan dan buka kilang sos boleh la .Jadi bagi tau dekat kawan annie jangan sombong la boleh jalan da! , Bukan semua cinabeng pandai sangat berniaga ada yang saya kenal pun selalu kena tipu juga , melayu pun ada yang pandai tapi bila main bab kena bagi rasuah dan warna kita tak mampu la , Tak semua taukey cina ini yang tak baik ada tapi sikit jumlahnya , melayu pun bukan semua bodah dan kaki joli ada yang bejaya tapi terpaksa la ditolong oleh kerajaan kalau tidak boleh sesak nafas . Pasal anak melayu susah masuk kerja sektor swasta ini dah jadi kebiasaan orang dah malas nak cerita . kalau boleh pun meraka masuk syarikat GLC dan Konsotium bumiputra , Kalau ada taukey cinabeng ini ambil pun boleh kerja dalam bidang tak kritikal , kerani , Human resorces , kakitangan teknikal tu kira ok dah tu , kalau ikut hati dia orang tak ambil terus . Jadi annie ini la malaysia rakyat berbilang kaum satu kiasu dan tamak haloba , satu lemah lembek (terlalu baik dgn bangsa lain tapi bangsa sendiri macam nak bunuh ) satu lagi tak bolek lawan cakap mesti kalah punya kena goreng . Pada cinabeng yang sakit hati dengan apa saya tulis itu lu punya pasai la , Lu talak kasi makan sama gua , gua pun tarak kerja sama lu , boleh pi mampoi la.

  14. Cik Annie,

    Di Malaysia peniaga2 cina tak gemar nak mempelawa pekerjaan kpd org Melayu.Lainlah jika perniagaan restoran halal.Towkay cina akan sedaya upaya mencari pekerja2 Melayu.Semuanya demi perniagaan.

    Dan agak ramai peniaga2 (sme) Melayu dah berani meneroka pasaran borong di negara China.Maka agak ramai usahawan Melayu telah berjaya dlm perniagaan import-export barangan buatan China yg murah.Towkay2 China agaknya tak memilih bulu,tiada diskriminasi kaum dan agama.(Ramai org Arab dan Iran berdagang dgn towkay2 China dgn jayanya) Kenapa?Fikirlah sendiri.

    Tetapi lain pula di negara kita.Towkay2 cina akan mengenakan harga berbeza - murah utk pembeli cina dan mahal kpd bukan cina.Ini kenyataan.(Maka sebab tu lebih berbaloi kita membeli di super market - tiada tawar menawar - sebab harga dah ditetapkan.)

    Apapun diskriminasi dlm apa bentuk pun jgn diamalkan.

  16. How many of the UKM grads are fluent in English?

    How many of them graduate in the "hard" disciplines - computer science, engineering, accountancy, business administration, maths, science, law and medicine?

    As compared with the "soft disciplines" such as arts, social sciences etc?

    How many of them can compare with grads from foreign universities?

    Why blame private sector employers for picking the best-qualified candidates? Is the government going to bail them out if they fail because of substandard staff?

      So, you work in a Chinese-owned company (as distinct from a Chinese company)? Well, bully for you! Did your employer pass over equally well-qualified Malaysian Chinese and Indian grads in order to employ you? If they did, then they can't be "racist", can they?

      And your point that 99% of UKM grads in the "hard disciplines(sic)" are Malays is neither here nor there.

      How "employable" are these grads? How many secured jobs immediately after graduating? After 3 months? 6 months? 1 year? How many are still unemployed or are working temporary jobs?

      Surely UKM has all this data readily available, don't they?

    2. No they are not available. Not all vote and some disciplines are not employable. Some have been linked like member of parties or families

    3. hominy grits = cina tongsan rejected from mainland china

      thinks everybody's english is not as good as his,i wonder if he can speak good fluent English (lorry not loly) because the way he writes suggest that:

      1. he is a racist with a deep hatred for the Malays (maybe his parents taught him that or maybe he's an avid reader of the Star newspaper)
      1. the Chinese is superior compared to the Malays

      Ok horrr...thank you arrr...

      (why we accept the Chinese here in Tanah Melayu as citizens is beyond me..we should only be issuing them residence visas only..no voting rights)

    4. Ooh, anon 21:47 - are you a UKM alumnus too?

      And you don't believe in university rankings, is it? Perhaps you think that these are tools of Zionists and colonialists who are bent on suppressing the aspirations of you-know-who?

      Ok, do carry on with your delusional fantasies. That's one less competitor for those of us who have to make a living in the real world, where race and religion are irrelevant.

      Oh, I forgot - Malaysia is an exception, that it is magically immune to globalization and competition. Which is why our public universities are always struggling behind the curve, and crying foul when the private sector chooses to employ graduates from, let's say, better regarded institutions.

      If you believe in the strength of your arguments, you should have no problems in convincing the government to impose mandatory hiring quotas on the Malaysian private sector (both local and foreign companies).

      Let's see where gumption runs up against economic realities!

    5. I think that hominy grits despite his rather confrontational approach to the issue being discussed, expresses his views rather clearly, and i'd venture to say that the ministry of education should not cancel the PPSMI curriculum ie. teach Science and Maths in English, if the Malays and all Malaysians are not going to be handicapped by our command of English under the present circumstances of our global village. The PPSMI may not be readily applicable in certain rural regions of our country, but to disband the entire program would be to set Malaysia back again just when it is about to effectively encounter the global challenge facing us.

      Let me spell it out for you in simple language:

      - government
      - mandatory hiring quotas
      - private sector (MNCs and local)

    8. hello hominy grits = china tongsan

      No I am not from UKM but I am a qualified accountant from the UK.

      It seems that your english is not that great despite you trying to fool the malays with some over the top choice of words (gumption anyone?). As the saying goes, you need to learn to walk before you learn to run. Therefore let me correct your grammar first before you waste your time writing long winding sentences that people dont understand.

      'And you don't believe in university rankings, is it?' - grammatically, this sentence is wrong, the correct sentence should read as this - 'And you don't believe in university rankings, do you?'

      So there you go, I have corrected your grammar,the very basic thing in English. Now we all know that Chinese like hominy grits are not that smart or good in English, they just pretend that they are.

      Okay Horrr..Thank you ahhh...

      Really? Is that the best that you can come up with?

      I make no apologies for the use of "Malaysian English", on occasion. MaybevI should have written " izzit", instead of "is it", to be more "hip"!

      In any case, I note that you haven't refuted any of the points that I raised in my posts on this thread.

      Why? Are the facts confounding your attempts to find excuses?

      I note that you claim to be "a qualified accountant from the UK".

      Good for you.

      But as they say - there are accountants and there are accountants. In the case of the UK, with Chartered Accountants who used to be at the top of the profession.

      But did you secure your UK slot through open competition or though some form of " sponsorship"?

      Sorry, ah - all these arguments about meritocracy very siong, one.

    10. Oh, yes - one more thing.

      Check out the QS University Rankings: Asia 2014.

      The top 10 universities in Asia are: NUS (Singapore), KAIST, University of Hong Kong, Seoul National University, HKUST, Chinese University of Hong Kong, NTU (Singapore), Peking University, POSTECH (Korea) and University of Tokyo.

      Dang it - these Singaporeans, Honkies, China Chinese, Japs and South Koreans must be doing something right - in the field of higher education, that is.

      What of our Malaysian public universities?

      Well, their rankings are as follows: UM (32), UKM (56),USM (57), UTM (66) and UiTM (ranked among the 201-250 positions).

      So, it wouldn't exactly be rocket science for a Malaysian private sector employer or a MNC operating in Malaysia to recruit grads from, say, NUS or NTU, than from Malaysian universities.

      And isn't it ironic that UM and NUS were siblings back in the day? In fact, many Malaysians would have fond memories of studying at the then University of Malaya in Singapore, which became the University of Singapore.

      So, why aren't the UKM alumni, for instance, raising a stink about where their alma mater is ranked in the Asian pecking order? Or have they given up, because it's all about politics?

Hapuskan sekolah berlandaskan race jadikan satu sekolah saja . 2 cara politik pun kena ubah kena selagi tak hormati perasaan sesuatu kaum asyik main sedap mulut selagi itu lah akan ada isu. 3. Kena terima satu bentuk budaya bangsa Malaysia supaya boleh dikenali sebagai satu bangsa . tapi saya rasa ini semua mimpi kosong kerana para 1. dan 3 mesti banyak akan bantah termasuk diri anda jadi jangan mimpi la " One day i hope I dont have to worry about my race identity".

  21. Can't you see oh fellow Malaysians, the prejudices of us adults were being introduced during the 11 years of our primary and secondary school education kept apart in separate vernacular systems? Integrate the National mainstream school curriculum now because it is futile to present all these facile data about the obvious discrimination that naturally built up from not being together while we were growing up, . . . don't you think?

  22. May/Annie,

    In reply to your question,
    "Well, stupid Malays, you really think you are on a level playing field?"
    the answer is yes you and the morons who have pounced on this article are stupid because you are not asking the right questions.

    And no it is not a level playing field but not in the way you think it is.

    What is the sample size of the study? Assuming the researchers sent out resumes in proportion to the ethnic make up of the population ie out of 100, 60 were Malay, 30 were Chinese to each company types.
    Therefore in Malay companies, 2 Chinese got a call back while 2.9 Malays got called.
    In Chinese companies, it was 7.2 Chinese and 4 Malays got called.
    Likewise in MNC, it was 6.9 Chinese and no Malays.

    Now lets assume Chinese companies tend to favour Chinese while Malay companies favour Malays and MNCs are neutral.
    However based on their callback practices, it appears all 3 company types (even the Malay companies) are 'racist' in their hiring practices and MNCs are the most 'racist' against Malays.

    The question then is why would MNCs prefer to hire Chinese compared to Malays if they are race neutral? Do they get more economic value in hiring Chinese based on past hiring experience? If not, what is the reason then?

    Instead of asking these questions, all you idiots zeroed in on the Chinese companies that actually did hire Malays rather than the MNCs that didn't hire even one. And you May, what is the point of asking your Chinese friend about hiring practices when he obviously doesn't run a company. You think just because he is Chinese makes him an expert on hiring practices in Chinese companies?

    Definitely won't hire you clowns if I was in charge of hiring in any of these three companies.

  23. Wow reading those comments from vernacular educated Red Beaners really spoiled the beauty of the English Language.

    You can easily indentify the comments written by the beaners as they think and write in mandrin and then did the translation to English.

    No wonder these racists cinabeng Red Beaners can easily be sodomised by Kit Siang with hatred and lies.
