Cent Gps Tax Breaks Not Quotas Can Solve Discrimination In Job Market




The Centre for Governance and Political Studies (Cent-GPS) has dismissed quotas as a possible solution to racial discrimination in the private sector, as underlined in its study published last week
Cent-GPS principal director, Umno Senator Khairul Azwan Harun (photo, above), said the government should instead offer tax incentives to companies
"Don't talk about quotas. Perhaps offer tax breaks to private companies that employ a diverse workforce," Azwan told Malaysiakini in a recent interview
Another way to tackle racism in the job hiring process would be to bar employers from asking job applicants to provide a photo along with their resume
Azwan said this would be worth a try, even though names of the people in Malaysia are a give-away to their race
Using fictitious names with similar qualifications, Cent-GPS in its study surmised that Malaysian private sector employers had a strong bias against non-Chinese applicants
Its Indian male candidates had the lowest call back rate, while overall Indian and Malay candidates had a call back rate of below 14 percent and 16 percent for jobs that don't and do require Mandarin proficiency, respectively
Conversely, Chinese candidates fared much better, with the male applicant scoring a call back rate of above 30 percent, while the Chinese female was called back more than 40 percent of the time
Methodology of study under heavy scrutinyThe study's methodology had come under heavy scrutiny, including by Lee Hwok Aun and Muhammed Abdul Khaled, who published a similar study in 2013
Lee (photo) and Muhammed said the Cent-GPS' data actually showed that for jobs requiring Mandarin skills, all candidates had a higher call back rate, albeit with the Chinese candidates still being the top choice
Nonetheless, the researchers said, Malaysians should take Cent-GPS' findings of strong Chinese bias in the private sector to heart
Azwan welcomed the criticism, saying his goal was to "promote national conversation" on the issue
He also said that he is willing to work together with the Pakatan Harapan government to tackle the issue
"We're ready to present this to Human Resources Minister M Kulasegaran. Let's find the best solution to this," he said
Azwan gave his assurance that the government would get bi-partisan support to work on a solution to discrimination in the workforce
However, he dismissed calls by some for Malaysia to ratify the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Icerd) to solve the matter
"We don't need to ratify Icerd just to address this... We don't need foreign laws... If we want to fix this issue we can do it ourselves," he said. - Mkini
