I am utterly disgusted with the blatantly discriminatory and heavy-handed employment policies of Malaysia Airlines with regards to its female cabin crew. I am also disgusted that the High Court could rule in favour of such sacrilegious human rights infringement.

I am incensed that a minister appointed to defend women in Malaysia has told us instead to be grateful for the measly concessions by MAS as apparently, 'This is an improvement. We must be realistic'.

To single out a particular sex in a policy and to shove that policy down its female employees' throats as a prerequisite for employment is in itself an unacceptable corporate practice. You can name it Collective Agreement or you can name it Male Chauvinist Decree, it makes no difference - the end product totally disregards basic and equal employment rights.

If my company (a multinational) were to put it into our employments contracts that all female employees can have not exceeding 'X' amount of children and are forced to go without pay during pregnancy or face getting fired, you can bet a worldwide class-action suit will follow.

If all companies were free to make such horrendously skewed policies, what's to stop the next company from making race an employment prerequisite?

Oh, I forgot, we have that already.
