Umno Youth slams Fong over neglect of Bumi grads
01 Mar 2007
SHAH ALAM: Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn was lambasted yesterday for neglecting unemployed Bumiputera graduates.
Umno Youth Public Complaints Bureau chairman Datuk Subahan Kamal said many graduates had resorted to driving taxis as they could not find employment in the private sector.
He said the ministry had to assume responsibility for their plight.
"We have highlighted the matter to the ministry before but officials have chosen to sweep the problem under the carpet," he told reporters after highlighting allegations of discrimination against Bumiputera employees by Giant Hypermarket in Shah Alam.
He said the ministry should enforce a 30 per cent quota for Bumiputeras at all levels in the private sector and ensure that locals were given preference over foreigners.
Workers at the hypermarket complained that foreigners were being favoured over locals and that locals received lower wages.
They had also claimed that there were few opportunities for career advancement in the company.
The letter, sent to the Prime Minister’s Department, also alleged there were no Bumiputeras in top management positions in the company.
Giant Retail (M) Sdn Bhd chief operating officer Datuk John Coyle, who had earlier met Subahan over the matter, told reporters that 80 per cent of staff in the company were Bumiputeras.
He said there were 123 Bumiputeras in lower and middle management with three in top management positions.
Coyle said the company had to resort to foreigners for menial jobs.
However, the company was committed to increasing the number of Bumiputeras at managerial level.
Coyle added that 80 per cent of Giant’s customers were Bumiputeras and there was no discrimination against them.
"We have always preferred Bumiputeras over foreigners."
Subahan said his meeting with Coyle was fruitful and that some of the complaints raised by staff were unfounded.

Pls la. let them take away 30%. not a big deal. better not cancel the NEP, otherwise Malaysia become another Indonesia if non bumibuputera take away all the things. then those 70% poor and angry bumiputera will become "perompak" or "perogol". Do not forget almost all policemen are bumiputera!! who care if u get into trouble! We don't want another 513! and press your heart and ask "how many months bonus u got last year in bumiputera controlled company compared to those local non bumiputera company?" it is CLEAR!!
for me is simple:
nothing is free in this world.
I won't even give 10c to a beggar, only to OKU, even so, that OKU also must work hard to earn the living for themselve. Anorther Indonesia, maybe need to wait another 50 years??
