KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- MIC on Wednesday welcomed the
announcement by the Public Services Commission (PSC) chairman , Tan Sri
Mahmood Adam, that the PSC would look at ways to increase the number of
Malaysian Indian counter staff and officers at government offices from
1,000 at present to about 3,000 people.
Its president, Datuk Seri G. Palanivel, said since taking the helm of
the party, he had made numerous requests to Prime Minister Datuk Seri
Najib Tun Razak to increase the representation of Indians in the civil
service and in its promotion exercise.
"The Prime Minister has also given a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) to
increase the Indian's intake into the government service. Based on this,
I had met the relevant agencies to discuss the increase in the intake,"
he said in a statement, here, today, commenting on Mahmood's statement
in his interview with The Star yesterday.
Among others, the PSC Chairman was reported as saying that more
non-bumiputras will be appointed as frontline counter staff at
government offices nationwide.
Palanivel also thanked the Prime Minister for the move to increase
Indian frontline counter staff at government offices nationwide which
was an initial step toward achieving the seven percent target of Indians
being recruited in the government service.
