Even in this real life story –a story whose purpose is to motivate others like the Police Officer Sasikala Subramaniam, it inadvertently comes out that she once considered quitting because she was not offered any promotions for eight years. Can you imagine why? Not very hard is it?

However every now and then you get, by unwitting admission, real life accounts in the media of how it works in real life - discrimination in almost all walks of life in our 1Malaysia .

As it stands there are only about 1% ethnic minority Malaysian Indians in the civil service down from about 50% in 1969 according to page 78 of Dr. Mahathir’s book, The Malay Dilemma.

This Indian police officer’s case of non promotion is just the tip of the iceberg of the non promotion of Indians in the Malay-sian civil service based on the complaints we have received. It is a fact that this level of racism, religious extremism and supremacy does not exist in any other part of the world expect in Malaysia.

Is this a basis for a truly progressive Malaysia.
