Job vacancy for 'Yes tuan' deputy minister - Malaysiakini

 
 The humorous forces that dwell in Malaysian cyberspace have struck again, this time with a ‘job vacancy advertisement’ in the Prime Minister’s Department.

The posting comes in the wake of Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia chairperson P Waythamoorthy’s (left) resignation as a senator and deputy minister early this month.     

Among others, the advertisement stated that all “kooja thukis” (apple polishers) are encouraged to apply for the position.
         
It also contained the images of several Indian Malaysian leaders such as MIC’s M Saravanan and P Kamalanathan, who drew flak for kissing the hand of Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin during the Hulu Selangor by-election in 2010.

Others portrayed were Malaysian Indian United Party (MIUP) chief S Nallakaruppan and Makkal Sakti Party president RS Thanenthiran.

The advertisement, posted by the Facebook user ‘Bolehland’, stated that candidates with the experience of shortchanging the Indian community would have an added advantage.

Other requirements include being a BN team player, and the applicant must be able to communicate in the BN language of “Ya Tuan” (yes, master), “Boleh Tuan” (can do, master), “Jangan takut Tuan” (Don’t be afraid, master) and “Orang India semua sokong Tuan” (All the Indians support you, master).

Aspiring candidates were told to contact ‘Najib’ if interested.

All MIC leaders qualified

The advertisement is gaining in popularity since its emergence, with hundreds sharing it with their friends.

As for the comments in cyberspace, Indian NGO leader Rajaretinam Armuggan wrote: “Kelayakan asas.... mesti sedia jadi pengkhianat kaum!!! Serta sgt suka tunduk dan cium2 dan jilat Umno... walaupun dipukul ditendang berkali2...” (Basic qualification, must be prepared to betray the race, as well as bow, kiss and lick Umno... despite being kicked repeatedly).

Another user, Sathy Vel Naidu said, “And the winner is ‘Ketta’Karuppan”. This was an obvious reference to Nallakaruppan, where the first four alphabets of his name “Nalla” means “nice or good” while “Ketta” means “bad”.

Whereas Radha Krishna Subramaniam remarked, “All MIC leaders are qualified for the job.”
