KUALA LUMPUR: More advertisements must be placed with Tamil radio stations and newspapers on the availability of jobs in the civil sector to increase awareness among the Indian community.
“Many Indians are not aware about the opportunities in the civil sector,” Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri G. Palanivel told reporters yesterday after chairing a meeting on increasing opportunities for Indians in the civil sector.
He said more Indians would be interested to apply for these jobs if they knew about the vacancies.
“Publicity and advertisements must be increased and we want to do this through television, radio stations and newspapers,” he said.
He said a special team comprising MIC members, non-governmental organisations and retired civil servants would go around the country to meet Indian youths to talk to them about how and when to apply for the jobs.
Palanivel, who is also MIC president, said the team would also be visiting Tamil schools to speak to students.
He said the highest number of Indians in the civil sector were in the legal, teaching and medical sectors.
