KUALA LUMPUR: The army’s salary structure, which is not on par with private companies, is one of the reasons why non-bumiputeras are not interested in joining the force, says Army Chief General Datuk Seri Mohammad Ab Rahman ."We welcome anyone from the non-Bumiputera community who is interested and enthusiastic about joining the army.

"So this is also one of the factors...they might think that their lives are controlled when they are not, but are subject to military law only," he told a press conference after delivering his inaugural address at Dataran PTD at the Perdana Sungai Besi military camp, here on Tuesday . "I believe that those who join the army are all okay and face no problems, there are even non-bumiputeras in high-ranking positions in the army," he said.
