Government asks private sector to reveal racial composition of employees. But will it lead by example?

In the recent budget announcement, the PM made a call that as part of corporate social responsibility, publicly listed firms will have to start revealing the racial composition of their employee base.

This is obviously another blinkered policy aimed at cajoling the private sector to hire according to the racial composition of the country with no incentive for meritocracy.

If the UMNO government wants the private sector to do this, shouldn't they lead by example and publish government employment by racial composition? How about the GLCs like TM, Tenaga and Petronas? Shouldn't they start reserving at least 30% of their employment for non-bumiputras?
