It’s shocking to hear another Human Right report World Refugee Survey 2009 report has placed Malaysia in the same basket as six other countries - South Africa, Gaza, Thailand, Kenya, Egypt and Turkey - in their treatment of refugees.
Only a day ago the ninth annual Trafficking in Persons Report put Malaysia on Tier 3 watch list says Malaysia is a destination and, to a lesser extent, a source and transit country for women and children trafficked for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation, and for men, women, and children trafficked for the purpose of forced labour.
Just few days back, I had cautioned Home Minister on possible malpractice by Immigration officers and RELA movement after Sg Buloh Prison incident via blog post Family Want Home Minister Investigated over Prisoners Assaults
The latest report gives Malaysia 3 F for Refoulement/Physical Protection , Detention/Access to Courts , Detention/Access to Courts and a D for Freedom of Movement and Residence.
It’s better for Malaysia to immediately take rectification works and blame others. The evil of all is Corruption at all Level and excessive authority without check and balance. The failure of Ministers take action against corrupt officer , as they too most probably corrupt further aggravate the situation.
Current Home Minister must take full responsibility on deteriorating Human Right Values in Malaysia and instruct immediate reinforcement of human rights. Further, the Government must immediately cease double standard by protecting public servants from their wrong doings. They may escape from criminal charges against murder in custody but cann’t runaway entirely.
