Rela: We are the Law (part 2)

Rela chief tells police: "You are Wrong, not us!"

"There is no need for a police officer to come along. We can bring one if we want, but our law does not specify that we have to. The standard operating procedure for Rela should come under Rela, not the police," Zaidon said yesterday, referring to the Emergency (Stipulated Powers) Act 1964 (Ikatan Relawan Rakyat) Amendment of February 2005.

So, what Zaidon says is that Rela can do what they want as they are empowered under the Emergency Act 1964. But doesn't he understands what is Emergency Act? The act is clear: that their power could only come into being under an emergency situation as declared by the government, not in the ordinary course of duty. In fact, the act do not permit the members to act against civilians unless the state is under emergency and that declaration is made by the Yang Di Pertuan Agong, not the cabinet.

Abuse of power; they just pick and choose what they like to read with reference to the legislative intent. The enactment of any law is to address the mischief and that an emergency law is so named such that the act comes into place only, as and when an emergency is declared by the King.

Rela service is for rental?

[Excerpt from "Demolition: Kg Berembang"]
"A squad police were stationed outside and appeared to be unwilling to do more than just observing. Even the MPAJ enforcers were absent. The developer relied solely on some 50-60 RELA to maintain order."

Should we do away with the police? What for we need the police if Rela can do all their jobs better?

Rela is another retarded agency within the gomen. The DG is already gone Cuckoo... forgetting Emergency Act!

Not another power crazy fella, in future barking for Latte Coffee tip from Indon/Vietnamese construction workers to support their Mercedes Benzes... saying "I have the Power"!

Power his "Dong".... and he really look retarded - just look at his face'; clearly created and reflected as GOD so wish.

There is a different between a wise clean man with another crook, S.O.B. and corruptor. The former always remain calm and let GOD plan his life, whereas the latter is the opposite.

Something to ponder.

Orrrr...miiii...thorrr...fhattt.
