\u00a0This is a really absurd story. I can’t believe such excuses can be given. If the reason the girl’s application was rejected is due academic or professional requirements, fair enough. But to reject job application on the basis of the parent’s ethnic background is totally unacceptable.<\/p>\n

The girl, who is a Master degree holder in field of Forensic Science from an Australian university, applied for a job at KL Hospital. It seems the application is rejected and to get a job, the mother has to die or divorce the father<\/strong><\/span>! She applied to Perlis Police Academy, and was rejected because the mother is a Chinese. These are government based organisations, mind you and they give such a reply?<\/p>\n

So core problem for these organisations – mother is Chinese and father is Malay?<\/p>\n

Are these people that dumb? What kind of moron will say you can get a job if you parent dies or divorces?<\/p>\n

I seriously hope this story is not true.<\/p>\n

The applicant has written to PM’s wife’s secretary, DPM, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Sharizat Jalil, and also BM Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin. No reply yet.<\/p>\n
