“It is shocking that Maszlee could link the continuation of the matriculation quota on the existence of unfair employment system for Bumiputera in the private sector,” the DAP lawmaker said in a statement. “But now, there is realisation that some of our ministers like Maszlee are no different from the BN era politicians who used race and religion to ensure their political survival,” Ramasamy said.“What is the difference between him and Umno politicians?” he then asked.
He said when PH won the government, some would expect racial policies in education and other areas would be in the past, but added that it was not the case with the matriculation system. He pointed out that the employment of the ethnic Chinese and Indians is limited in the public sector. He accused Maszlee of behaving like Umno politicians who think that race and religion are needed to safeguard his position in the current government.
