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

On an altogether basis, Malay possibilities are upon normal 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 comparative measure is only 13.1%.Some of a alternative findings:

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

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

3. Academic education additionally matter, though is additionally a some-more poignant factor for Malays than for Chinese candidates;

4. And before anyone starts grumbling about racism, a preference for Chinese possibilities is pretty much across a board, either a company you do! a promo tion is Chinese controlled, foreign controlled, or (astonishingly) Malay controlled.
