10. Can an employer refuse to offer me a job interview or position in his/her organisation because I am a Filipino and cannot read Chinese ?

An employer cannot deny somebody a job interview or position just because of his/her race. The employer would have to prove that proficiency in reading Chinese language is a justifiable job requirement if he/she rejects a candidate on this ground. Otherwise, it could constitute discrimination.
