Prevent civil servants imbalance: Only 5.4pct are Chinese
LETTER | The low representation of Chinese Malaysians in the civil service is a cause for concern. The government must take proactive measures to encourage greater participation from young Chinese Malaysians in national administration, ensuring governance reflects the voice of all citizens. Few applicants, but highest interview success rates According to the data from the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS), as of Dec 31, 2024, Malaysia had 1,302,429 civil servants (excluding the Royal Malaysia Police and armed forces), with only 5.4 percent being Chinese Malaysians. In the 2024 and 2025 intake for administrative and diplomatic officers, only one of over 120 recruits was Chinese Malaysian, despite around 1,000 Chinese Malaysians applying. In comparison, over 90,000 Malays applied, 4,000 for Indians and Sabahans, while 3,000 Sarawakians and other ethnic groups applied. Despite the low application numbers for Chinese Malaysians, the interview success rate for this group stood at 85 percent, the highest among all groups, demonstrating their capability to perform in civil service roles. Diversity strengthens policies and social unity Civil servants are key to implementing government policies. A civil service with diverse representation ensures decisions reflect the interests of all communities. Increasing Chinese Malaysian representation will strengthen community ties and promote governance cohesion. Chinese Malaysian participation at all levels is crucial for inclusive policy development. While some believe contributing to national development requires political elections, the real drivers of policy are administrative institutions. The Chinese Malaysian community must not be absent from this leadership structure. Breaking stereotypes The recent armed forces' promotion of Johnny Lim from major general to lieutenant general, the first Chinese Malaysian three-star general in Malaysia's history, highlights how merit and service drive promotions. This milestone should inspire all ethnic groups to participate in public service. Public service is a valuable career for young Chinese Malaysians. The government should use this success story to raise awareness, showing that careers in government, police, or military are open platforms where individuals can thrive regardless of their ethnic roots. The civil service offers opportunities for cross-departmental rotations and diverse training, allowing officers to gain broad experience and enjoy stable career paths with strong benefits. As prime minister's political secretary Chan Ming Kai has stated, the government must do more to encourage Chinese Malaysian participation in the public sector. Given the high success rate of Chinese Malaysian applicants, outreach efforts such as school talks, targeted training, scholarships, and internships should be expanded. The government should regularly publish HRMIS data on applications and intake across ethnic groups, set diversity targets, and strengthen performance standards to ensure equal opportunities for career advancement. Chinese Malaysians are fully capable of serving the nation in the civil service. A diverse civil service brings new perspectives, creating stronger connections between the public and private sectors. The government must work to bridge the gap between Chinese Malaysian youth and public administration, allowing more talent to contribute to national progress.

JPJ to take action over undeclared asset disposals
KANGAR: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will take action against officers who fail to declare disposal of assets in the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS), if non-compliance is confirmed. Its director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the issue of non-compliance will be brought before the disciplinary committee once it is proven that such an element exists, based on findings from the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission's (EAIC) investigation. 'We will review the investigation report and take the necessary action. If our review confirms non-compliance with civil service regulations, we will refer the matter to the disciplinary committee,' he told a press conference after launching the MyLesen B2 programme here on Friday (May 30). Earlier today, the media reported that the EAIC had found JPJ officers to have failed to update and declare asset disposals in the HRMIS. The report also stated that EAIC had received a complaint against the Kuala Lumpur JPJ involving several vehicle registration numbers. On the MyLesen B2 programme in Perlis, Aedy Fadly said a total of 800 individuals from the B40 group successfully obtained motorcycle licences for free through the programme, with more than 80 per cent being school students. 'We received 1,200 applications in Perlis and 800 of them have passed the test,' he said.

KL RTD officers may face disciplinary action over undeclared asset disposals
KANGAR: Road Transport Department (RTD) officers who fail to declare the disposal of assets in the department's Human Resource Information Management System (HRMIS) may be referred to the Disciplinary Committee if elements of non-compliance are found. This follows a report from the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) today, which found that several vehicles registered under the names of Kuala Lumpur RTD officers had not yet been declared as disposed of in the HRMIS, as required by the department. RTD director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the department is aware of the incident but will review the EAIC report before taking appropriate action. "We will monitor officers who fail to declare the disposal of assets, as required under the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993. From our side, every disposed asset must be redeclared in the HRMIS system. "In this matter as well, we will first study the EAIC report before taking appropriate action against the Kuala Lumpur RTD officers concerned, as reported by the media," he told reporters after presenting MyLesen (B2) driving licence to 800 recipients comprising students and underprivileged youth at Dewan Warisan today. Present was Perlis RTD director, Noraini Mohd Nawi. Aedy Fadly said the department will consider various aspects to determine whether there has been a breach of the existing regulations. "If there is a breach of the rules set by the government, then the officers involved may be referred to the Disciplinary Committee, which is a standard process implemented by RTD. "This declaration is an obligation not only within RTD but applies to all civil servants," he said. Earlier today, the EAIC, in a statement said it had received a complaint against the Federal Territory RTD involving several vehicle registration numbers, and an investigation was carried out under subsection 27(4) of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act 2009 (Act 700). EAIC's investigation found that several vehicles registered under the names of Kuala Lumpur RTD officers had not been declared as disposed of in the HRMIS system, even though those vehicles had not been in the officers' possession for a significant period of time.
