Or pretending? Or trying to hook-wink?
Comment: You may be angry at me for this comment and take an (ILLEGAL or LEGAL or by using official or unofficial thugs or by other means I dare not write) revenge on me. Do you think USA and the world is stupid? No need to read between the lines. Your words, if the Star reporter had not wrote wrongly, clearly proove that you are wrong, irrational and if you are not trying to cover-up, or trying to protect your past or present status) you should search more competent person to do this job.
Mahmood who was formerly the Immigration director-general believed it was impossible for immigration officials to sell the Rohingya refugees across the Thai border. (So you are from Immigration. Are you trying to coverup. You are not an independent third party. Some of your friends or subordinates could be involved.With this words, it is clear that you could not see. Even if you say that West Malaysia and East Malaysia is continuous, there is no water/South China Sea, I could believe that you were telling the truth or referring to the billion years of history. I hope that the Star reporter is stupid and writing nonsense.)
“First of all, we have no common border with Mynamar, so why bring them to the Thai border when they are not Thais? And we have a very strict standard operating procedure (SOP) when it comes to refugees.” ( The whole world knows this. If you don’t know… no comment.)
“So it is impossible for them to do this. ( Your former department was doing this to, may be, hundreds of thousands of people. If you don’t know, I have no further comment because this is a Boleh Land not other democratic country. If in Japan ……)
And if the immigration arrested the refugees there must be a report but there was none,” he said.
Now read the news….
KUALA LUMPUR: The Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act is not for show and the Government is serious in combating human trafficking, said Home Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mahmood Adam.
He said the anti-trafficking council set up under the ministry had been working round-the-clock since the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act was put in place.
“We are very serious. We have monthly meetings and four committees reporting to us,” he said in an interview.
Following the US Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report 2009 which downgraded Malaysia to Tier 3 on the list of worst offenders of human trafficking, Mahmood said a fifth committee would be set up under the anti-trafficking council particularly to tackle human resources and labour issues involved in trafficking.
The US TIP report said while the Government made some progress in investigating and punishing sex trafficking offences, it had not demonstrated efforts to investigate, prosecute or convict offenders of labour trafficking.
It recommended that Malaysia apply stringent criminal penalties to those involved in fraudulent labour recruitment or exploitation of forced labour and disseminate proactive procedures to identify victims of trafficking among vulnerable groups such as migrant workers.
“We have 50 days to answer the allegations and we do have a special committee to answer the allegations,” he said.
The US TIP report also called for Malaysia to increase the number of prosecutions and convictions for trafficking and increase efforts to prosecute public officials involved in trafficking.
Asked why it was taking so long to prosecute traffickers particularly public officials, Mahmood said the enforcement side was looking into the cases.
Earlier this month following the TIP report and Malaysia’s downgrading, Tun Abdul Majid Tun Hamzah, the head of the prosecution unit at the Attorney-General’s Chambers, said more than 10 immigration officers were being investigated for involvement in human trafficking.
The US TIP report also cited a case that despite there being credible sources reporting that immigration officials sold refugees for US$200 to traffickers operating along the Thai/Malaysia border – with the victims then sold for labour and commercial sexual exploitation – as well as police and immigration investigations into the matter, no official had been arrested or prosecuted.
Mahmood who was formerly the Immigration director-general believed it was impossible for immigration officials to sell the Rohingya refugees across the Thai border.
“First of all, we have no common border with Mynamar, so why bring them to the Thai border when they are not Thais? And we have a very strict standard operating procedure (SOP) when it comes to refugees.”
“So it is impossible for them to do this. And if the immigration arrested the refugees there must be a report but there was none,” he said.
