Respect 'Malay special right in civil service', says PAS leader

Wannabe Menteri Besar of Perak

Malaysiakini : Perak PAS chairperson Razman Zakaria has urged all quarters to respect the rights of Muslims and sensitivities of the Malays.

Citing the Federal Constitution, Malaysian laws and the “social contract”, he claimed this included the “special right of the Malays in the civil service” without providing details.

The ethnic composition of the public service has become a controversial subject after DAP leader P Ramasamy urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to dismantle the “Malay dominance” of the civil sector.

However, Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) president Adnan Mat denied the existence of race-based quotas for hiring and promotions in the civil service.

VioletCondor6908 : Razman , your reputation has taken a hit, after your open apology in High court to Anwar Ibrahim, for uttering some undignified words, directed against him.

Yes, there are special privileges to one community, in our Constitution and you are a political party leader ie of PAS in Perak, but can't you appreciate or have any regard to the multi- racial, multi- religious population of the country. Are you stating that the non malays, as citizens have no rights to be in the Civil Service ?

These public officers have to deal with all races while performing their duties. This is the type of reasoning , Malaysia can never become another Singapore or for that matter like Indonesia, whose emblem or motto is " Unity in Diversity"

I WONDER? : Sri Lanka and Malaysia are the two most unique countries in the world that gave special rights and quota system to their majority race over the minority race. Whether all the other countries in the world give special rights and quota to only the minority race to assist them to be at par with the majority.

Today, Sri Lanka has gone bankrupt officially due to the special rights and quota given to the majority race, the Sinhalese been abused and bred rampant of corruptions. It looks like Malaysia is walking the steps of Sri Lanka towards bankruptcy and getting doomed too if no remedial action is taken to correct the situation immediately.

Dino : Yes the Constitution is clear in this but not to the extent of near total dominance of Malays in the civil service. The current composition is also far from the real demography of Malaysia.
