Popular apparel brand Kitschen has recently received backlash for putting up a discriminating job vacancy advertisement
The job vacancy notice blatantly requested for "Malay and Chinese" applicants who are above 18 years old
Shambavi wrote that she immediately walked into the store to confront the staff.
"Dear @kitschen, I hope there is a sound explanation for this. Being a regular customer, I confronted the staff and asked her about the notice, to which she replied, 'Isn't it better to inform the Indians on a notice outside rather than wasting their time, walking inside and applying'," she wrote.
Kitschen has since replied to the Facebook post apologising and explaining that the advertisement did not follow company policy
The company wrote that they "do not discriminate against any race" and it is evident in the number of Indian staff who work at their headquarters.
"We are truly sorry for this incident and we take full responsibility of it," the statement read.
Kitschen also explained to customers that they are currently investigating the matter
