Murugiah: More non-bumis being hired by gov't.is total bullshit by UMNO slave bastard

This is the statement made by deputy minister T Murugiah. It seems the percentage increased since 2008 but at a meager 9% for the Chinese and 4% for the Indians. This means 58.3% of 1,559 Chinese and 42.7% of 1833 Indians were hired in 2010 (up to June 15).

Is an increase of 9% or 4% over two years something to be proud of? At this rate, when can the civil service be on a more balanced ratio? But wait, the statistics for 2008 was 49.2% out of 4,648 Chinese and 38.8% of the 6,106 Indian candidates interviewed were hired.

Now, can anyone who is expert in Maths tell me which is bigger:

58.3% of 1,559 or 49.2% of 4,648? Or

42.7% of 1,833 or 38.8% of 6,106?

I believe elementary division is taught in primary school. I wonder whose head is going to roll for making the deputy minister seem so (fill in the blanks here). But wait till you read this recent statement from minister Koh Tsu Koon which seems to indicate another set of figures:

'Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Dr Koh Tsu Koon said the Public Services Commission (PSC) received 25,789 applications from the Chinese last year compared with 12,872 in 2007.

'Koh said the appointments offered by PSC to the Chinese during that period also rose by almost 100 per cent — 2,600 appointed as civil servants last year compared with 1,323 in 2007.

'He said statistics as at June this year showed that Malaysia had 1.29 million civil servants, with Malays making up 77 per cent, followed by Sabah and Sarawak Bumiputeras at 8.7 percent, Chinese (six percent), Indians (four percent) and others (4.3 percent).'

Let's take an average increase of 2,600 Chinese staff in a year and if you want to increase the 6 percent representation to 20%, how long would it take? Assuming the number of civil servants will be 1.3 million. That would be an increase from 77,400 to 260,000 which is 182,600 new staff.

Assuming an unrealistic assumption of no Chinese staff retiring or perishing while in service, it would take another 70 years to reach the target.

Let's take Murugiah's figure from 2008 that about 2,300 Indians were hired. Same scenario: assume the civil servants are to remain at 1.3 million, no Indian staff retiring or perishing in duty, and we want to increase the 4% (51,600 out of 1.29 million) to 10% (130,000 out of 1.3 million). That's an increase of 78,400 which would take 34 years to reach.

Obviously, its nearly impossible to have those target ratios within this century. You can't create new posts since the civil service is too big for the population, and you can't remove current staff from the high percentage group and give their places to the lower percentage groups.

Some sort of 'affirmative action' for the minority groups can be proposed, but it won't be acceptable to some quarters.
