KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Armed forces (MAF) have never set any racial quota for personnel recruitment, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.
The Defence Minister added that recruitment was carried out twice a year, involving the intake of 6,000 to 7,000 personnel."They see there are other jobs like going into business that offers better returns....
"It does seem the response is not encouraging and low. So we don’t want this to continue and hope that a career in the Armed Forces will be more attractive to all races,” Mohamad said. "The cannon is needed by the Army, especially the Artillery Corps, but we cancelled the procurement process as it was done through direct negotiation, so we need to use open tender.
He had earlier presented 15,000 Hari Raya Aidilfitri packs to Armed forces personnel stationed at Malaysia’s borders and waters, which would be distributed before Hari Raya.
