ONLY one out of 10 ministries has fulfilled the requirement to employ the minimum number of disabled employees.
Figures from the Social Welfare Department (JKM) reveals the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry is the only government body to have exceeded the minimum one per cent of disabled people required in its total workforce.
The ministry recorded 2.97 per cent of new disabled intakes from its total intake of 245 staff last year.
It is a far cry from the other nine ministries, which did not even meet the one per cent quota.
They include the Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry, Prime Minister’s Department, Science,
Technology and Innovation Ministry, Information, Communication and Culture Ministry, Transport Ministry, Tourism Ministry, Higher Education Ministry, Human Resources Ministry and Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry. (see table)
