Race matters in Malaysia (esp to people who say it doesn't)

I met a man who said he's Malaysian first as well as X (his race) second as well as then he was starting upon as well as upon about his "Mother Tongue". You'd think a Malaysian's mom tongue is Malay (or Bahasa Melayu/Malaysia), right?

Anyway, according to a brand new study, racial discrimination is alive as well as kicking in Malaysia:

On an altogether basis, Malay possibilities are upon average 16.7% reduction likely to be called, as well as a outcome is stronger in engineering than in accounting. On a side note, a altogether call-back ratio is only 13.1%.Some of a alternative findings:

Chinese denunciation proficiency counts some-more than English (in actuality it appears to be a singular many important determining factor, apart from race), as well as a outcome is stronger in engineering jobs;

Which university you go to matters, though even some-more so for Malays being a UiTM graduate appears to be a relations handicap, though reduction so in engineering than in accounting;

Academic qualifications additionally matter, though is additionally a some-more significant cause for Malays than for Chinese candidates;

And before any one starts grumbling about racism, a welfare for Chinese possibilities is pretty much opposite a board, whether a company doing a advertising is Chinese controlled, foreign controlled, or (astonishingly) Malay controlled.
