For all categories. They are getting smart now. But should have asked for 10 percent. I think government jobs will provide stability that may encourage couples to have more than 2 children. MIC also will monitor it seems. Hopefully they will share their findings from time to time.
The Cabinet has given an assurance that more Indians will be recruited into the civil service in the near future, Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr. S.Subramaniam said today.
He said the cabinet and the government were committed to ensuring that more applications by Indians would be approved based on their job descriptions and merit.
“The MIC urges the Public Service Commission (PSC) to ensure a minimum intake of at least seven per cent for all job categories in the public service,” Subramaniam, who is also MIC secretary-general, said in a statement here.
He said the MIC was monitoring the intake of Indians into the civil service and would raise the matter from time to time to ensure that the seven per cent target was achieved.
Meanwhile, Samy Vellu says they will request for more Indians in the Public Services Commission (Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam – SPA). He was unhappy that only 105 Indians were selected for jobs.
He said the MIC would also request for more Indian representation in the Public Services Commission.
“We are also not satisfied that only 105 Indians of the 2,000 Indians called for interviews by the Public Services Department were selected. Their selection was based on their CGPA grades. We feel the PSD should have also considered their SPM/STPM results.”
