There should be a strong commitment from Putrajaya to push for a more racially balanced civil service to better reflect the spirit of Keluarga Malaysia, a slogan introduced by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, said Seputeh MP Teresa Kok.

In a statement today, the DAP lawmaker said the government must have the political will to include non-bumiputeras in the civil service, which bumiputras have dominated since the inception of the New Economic Policy in 1970.
