KUCHING: There are only 13,882 Ibans and 7,108 Bidayuhs in the Federal departments and ministries out of 601,862 Malays and 57,578 Chinese.
These figures were released by the Prime Minister Department in reply to a question raised by the MP for Bandar Kuching Chong Chieng Jen.
During the recent sitting of Parliament, Chong had asked the Prime Minister to give the total number of civil servants in all the ministries & the racial breakdown of Malays, Chinese, Iban and Bidayuh up to 31 March 2011.
“Based on the reply given to my question in Parliament there is a big discrepancy between the Malays & Chinese, Iban & Bidayuh civil servants,” he said.
Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak should improve the racial composition of the civil service if he is really serious about implementing 1Malaysia concept.
“He has been shouting about the concept for the past 2 years, & yet the racial composition between the Malays & Chinese in gov't depts has not improved,” said Chong who is Sarawak DASP Secretary & state assemblyman for Kota Sentosa.

“The worst is in the Rural and Regional Development Ministry where there are 2,442 Malays to 18 Chinese or 135.67:1 or less than one percent of the Chinese, and 26 Ibans & 18 Bidayuhs,” he said.

He said:“There is no improvement in the racial composition based on the racial breakdown in the gov't depts. Even in his dept it is worse than the average.
