He said the notion that only a particular race was favoured to join MAF was a misconception as the recruitment of... hahaha... Quotas & prohibition in religious practices only occurs in the Singapore army. Non-Chinese cannot hold any top post & female recruits banned from wearing tudungs. What about promotions? Quotas?
