21st Sept, 2011 -- A scholar applied for a vacancy at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur and Royal Police Training College after finishing her master degree course, but was told application rejected with reason being her mother was a Chinese. And unless her mother went for divorce or passed away, then only her application would be considered. She was unable to find a job and the application for the doctorate scholarship didn't look promising at all. The MCA 1Malaysia Task Force Team's Deputy Leader Frankie Gan urged the 1Malaysia Eduction Fund to look into the matter.
