The Immigration Department will give priority to family members and relatives of its staff should they apply for jobs with the department.“We believe that staff will be more obedient when they work with their family members,” he said at a press conference after visiting the Causeway on Wednesday.
He said that working together as a family would encourage the staff to be committed at work.
“In Japan, family members usually work in the same organisation and this helps them perform better as parents can share their experiences with children who are new at the job,” he said.
Mahmood said the department hoped to recruit more non-Malays as they made up fewer than 20% of the 10,000 workforce.
“We are getting 1,000 new staff in mid-October and about 200 of them will be non-Malays.- Star. 3/10/2008, Immigration Dept to give priority to staff's kin when hiring
The Star report was not clear as to who made the statement - it referred only to a 'Mahmood' but I believe it is Datuk Mahmood Adam, the Immigration Department director-general
Defence Ministry deputy secretary-general (management) Datuk Mahmood Adam will take over as the new Immigration Department director-general effective Monday, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Sidek Hassan announced Saturday.
He also announced the appointment of the Immigration Department's Foreign Workers Division director Abdul Rahman Othman as the department's deputy director-general (management) effective the same day.

I wonder where the DG of Immigration is really getting these ideas from - of course it is not OK. The only consideration should be qualification/s, capabilities - not ethnicity, religion, political party affliations, relationships, 'who they know?', etc...
This DG blurted it out - BUT the question remains as to the extend of this practices in the country.

I believe that Najib's Brother is some CEO or something high in one of the Banks - and some reports also did suggest that he will be able to assist Najib in his new role as Finance Minister No. 1. Is this right? So, are we going to see pro-Bank policies from now on? Are we going to see a pro-CIMB positioning by the Malaysian government?
The current tumultous global environment presents one of the most challenging times for one to become finance minister, says CIMB Group chief executive Datuk Seri Nazir Razak.
He was referring to the swapping of ministry portfolios between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Nazir’s brother.
“We wish him (Najib) all the best. Let’s wait for him to get back from New York,” he said after the launch of the CIMB Max InvestSave PSSIA-i yesterday.

I feel that since Mohd Najib Razak is the Finance Minister, his younger brother should just resign from his position and maybe just live of his wealth, for after all he is the 40th riches man in the country or Najib should take a different port-folio.
We do not want Discrimination in favour of political affiliation...and surely do want discrimination in favour of family members... at any level...DEPUTY Prime Minister Najib Razak's younger brother has entered Malaysia's rich list for the first time - coming in at No.40, with a net worth of US$100 million (S$136 million).
