No discrimination in Malaysian Armed Forces, says general

He said that the perception of institutional racism is not only misleading but detrimental to efforts to recruit other races to join the military.

Brig-Jen Padman said that the Armed Forces as an organisation is hierarchical in structure, adding that only a few appointments are available for the posts of Brigadier-Jeneral onwards as such officers commands or carry out staff functions from the formation levels and above. He also said that when contacted on Saturday that non-Malay medical officers have risen through the ranks based on their expertise.

"In the army, promotion at all levels are based on individual excellence, meritocracy, seniority, vacancy, corps specialisation and the best man for the job criteria irrespective of race and religion," he added."Currently, all recruitment is done online, followed by a final selection board, which is strict with no negotiation on the process.

Mmm hmm, like how there’s no discrimination in the private sector either

Bullshit
