Indians urged to enter civil service

THERE are about 42,000 vacancies in the public sector and the Indian community should seize the opportunity to join the civil service, reported Malaysia Nanban.

More Indians should come forward and serve the Government as they consisted only 1.8% of the workforce in the public sector.

The press secretary to the Deputy Minister in Prime Minister’s Department R. Rajendran said the Government was trying to increase the percentage of Indians in the public sector to 4.5%.

He said this after attending the 1Malaysia People’s Dinner organised by the Pandan Indah People’s Progressive Party on Saturday.
