Thomas did not charge Najib in bad faith, court rules

KUALA LUMPUR - Hard work and low salary have been identified as factors contributing to the low interest of the non-Bumiputera community to join the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF).
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said so far, less than three per cent of non-Bumiputeras have joined the military because of a lack of interest in the security personnel’s scope of work.
"This is something that needs to be addressed. But as mentioned earlier, the factors of hard work, low pay, irregular working hours and inability to spend time with families during festivals are among the reasons why they are less interested."This is a constraint faced by the MAF and the Defence Ministry to encourage the participation of non-Bumiputeras,” he said during a question and answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today.
