Jollyt scrutinize carefully what I had said.
Before 1965 off course some Malay were taken in but in very small ratio compared to the Chinese. Most of these Malay pilots (90%) left to join MAS in 1971 when it was formed. So of course like you said SIA had Malay pilots ( mostly Singaporean born) after the split but these were the balance taken before 1965.
But if you care to look at their date of entry data from 1965 onwards hardly any Malay pilots were taken in. You yourself used the word "has had" which means they are all gone now.
Yes SIA continue to recruit pilots from Malaysia after 1971 but 99% is of Chinese origin. In the last 8 years can you name one Malay pilot from MAS who had join SIA? Those who joined were mostly Chinese and Indians.
You are in fact not putting the record straight but twisting the truth of the matter to hide Singapore racist attitude towards Malays in Malaysia
#Note: Malay makes up 60% of the population in Malaysia.
There were 30% Malays in Singapore before 1965 but now only remain 15%.
Can you give me the numbers and percentage of Malaysian Malay pilots in SIA.
Will you or you dare not.
