Through the report from Free Malaysia Today (FMT), the study of a recruiting firm found that discrimination remains a major cause of Malaysians to feel marginalized at work and worry about their job prospects.
Hays Asia in a study reported of over 2,000 professionals throughout Asia between April and May last year find 63% of the respondents have felt themselves at work due to discrimination, with 51% ever experience it in 2018.
According to the job Diversity report, 28% of respondents believed they were marginalised or were less respected because of their race.
"The figure is far more than 17% of Asia's average," the report said that revealed 51% of the respondents expressed discrimination as the cause of their chances of employment were reduced by one-third ever facing the situation.
A total of 25% of respondents found that they faced racial discrimination, which is 10% higher than the number of respondents facing the same situation in Asia.
While 31% of respondents felt that there was an inequality in terms of employment due to race.
"This figure increased from 13% in 2017 and 19% in 2018, making it the highest in Asia and Japan."
According to the report, 29% of Malaysian employees also expressed discrimination as a source of inequality in terms of salaries and rewards, increasing from 19% and 23% since 2017 and 2018.
But, the report said, gender equality improved in Malaysia in terms of salary and promotion opportunities, but gender differences still become a major concern at the workplace as the number of women at management level reduced from 46% to 40% last year.
"Although it is the second highest stage in Asia, it still needs to be given attention.
"This is especially after 60% of the respondents believe that gender differences and participation in the workplace can have a positive impact on organisational leadership as opposed to 44% of Asia's average."
