The government in weak control of the police over Refugees

Highly anti-corruption, carrying out the national task-forces. Is this what you picture when you think about the responsibility of police? Of course, it is. Everybody do. But it is time to re-examine your notions about the police disciplines in Malaysia, which has been regarded an excursive system of moments practiced the nationwide-not quite serious problem you might have imagined out of your seat. No justice. No rightfulness. Extortion, stopping and questioning for long in purpose of money in public is most popularized in the act of police. Is this a training that they learned and are taught to do so? Perfectly, I won’t be able to accept that concept. Perhaps it might be possible to deceptively misinterpret a series of movements, which they have to initiate, choreographed into a daily routine. Probably, there may be a thing that taught them to be like beggars in the streets.

It is, in a sense, true that they have to control the overflooding of illegal ones as citizen servants. However, it is not much rightful to take any violated actions towards a recognised refugee who have been well-protected by UNHCR. A mere checking anybody in the streets or in any occasions is condonable and is accorded with their job so as to manipulate over people of illegal and drug smugglers.

 

But the intention of getting money easily sparks extorting refugees which is seen inhumane cruelty in principle for all. Consequently, it creates a very bad name for the Nation, too. And it did. When it comes to such headache problem, it is always and all time figuring out to the responsible body. Is extortion and playing refugees the custom of police in Malaysia? Absolutely not. And if so, who is responsible for this corrupted series of movement? You would rather blame the citizens or the police themselves in this claimed democratic country, wouldn’t you? Not in that way. That should be more concerned with the central government policy, in my sincere point of view.

Ironically, tickled some scopes, the flow of Asian region politics is more resembling as the saying here; “the apple never falls down far away from its tree”. At best, police must understand the key influential laws, policy and their roles in ways that always prevent them from power abuse and any abusive activities even if they are lack of politics interest. Apart from the extremist groups, all in the globe would be in the common sense adopting the idea that police and soldiers are the sons of the government.

 

They are set and laid under the ultimate control of the government. Yet, what happening here in Malaysia over refugees is a very severe thing that that is why it’s been time for the call of international consideration. Truth, as in charters of U.N, a refugee should be protected properly in any related country. It would be very good to notice that refugee running away to Malaysia is not because of the good care of the Malay government, but because of the concerns of UNHCR. No matter what happens, thanks go to the government upon the recent consideration shown off in the eyes of public media. So sad, many police are in need of pursuing the English language education to be clear in mind. Maybe, that’s a part of their own understanding towards what’s the real things they have to carry out in the country.

Most notably, the idea that government can somehow be cajoled into becoming a “responsible power-holder”, as vociferated at the human right abuse over refugees by the internationals. In fact, hiding the truth can never be prevailed.

 

Amending the broken laws and the corruptions and preparing the new systematic and strategic policy in which they can gain the new glorious face in the globe is what then most makes people considering. So far, the patterns and ups and downs of politics storming in the country are more or less giving the impact on lives of refugees in both negative and positive ways. At last not the least, it is a deep sad that extortion and arresting in advantage of money is constantly ongoing.

 

There’re a dozens of people who had and have sacrificed all the money along with the valuable that they got from the odd jobs. Still, many are in line sacrificing all they have to the police that doesn’t mean all the police nationwide but the corrupted. The last simple question here is what should be done for the building of the better future of recognised refugees?
