Why Non Bumi's Shun Civil Service ?

A comment from a retired military colonel "main reasons many non bumi's were not applying to become civil servants could be because they did not see themselves in a better position in the sector". He comment further "if 30% in the civil service is allocated for non-bumi's workers, then in the top posts a similar fraction should be allocated".

"I hope the Chinese should be given equal chances like the bumiputeras in the public service. There should not be discrimination or favouritism in the recruitment of new civil servants", quip a 20 year old sales assistant.

As i see it, its all about being in the top positon, the authority, the command. Long time ago, most of the Chinese are holding top post in government department, yet other races still worked without prejudice. I do believe in JPA criteria, there is no mentioned of races or ethnicity for position in public sector. The top criteria was the academic qualification. I believe there are equal opportunities for every citizens of Malaysia...the only thing is..the perception of certains races.. as said by this fellow, Chang "the reasons non-bumiputeras were not enthusiastic to apply for jobs in the government through PSD was because of the perception that the government favoured bumiputera workers".

If that is so..do not blame others for not being given equal oppotunities.
