OLDTOWN apologises for 'racist' job advertisement

Malaysian kopi tiam restaurant chain OLDTOWN White Coffee has apologised for a job posting put up by one of its franchisees, in which it said priority would be given to Malay and Chinese applicants.

Last Saturday, the public began posting the job ad on OLDTOWN's official Facebook page, demanding to know why the company was discriminating against Indian candidates.

OLDTOWN added the offending job post has since been taken down, and "appropriate action has been taken to ensure that this will not happen again".

It also encouraged the public to reach out if they have any other concerns.
