THE Kulai Municipal Council has urged more Indians to join the local authority as officers, Malaysia Nanban reported.
Council president Muhammad Shahril Azizi Abd Gapar disclosed this to the media after chairing the council’s monthly meeting.
Currently, eight Indian officers are working with the council’s management, finance and health departments.
However, there are no Chinese officers.
The neighbouring Kluang Municipal Council has around 30 Indian and Chinese officers, which leaves Kulai far behind in terms of diversity.
Having a diverse workforce will help the Kulai Municipal Council deliver services better and communicate better with some residents who may be more comfortable in their mother tongue, said Muhammad Shahril.
He also said the Kulai Municipal Council encourages more non-bumiputra residents to work for the council.
