Another killing: RELA time bomb explodes - the buck stops with Najib and Hisham

The brutal murder of an alleged Nigerian rapist, Onachie Martins Nwanko a student, by seven RELA paramilitary members in Kajang, Selangor was a time bomb waiting to explode.

These partially trained volunteers are a real menace especially to foreigners. Ask any foreigner and they will all have tales to tell, which sad to say, will be 99% truthful.

In recent years, there has been a five fold increase of this RELA force in Malaysia and suddenly today, we have 2.5 million volunteers in the country - of which about 20% alone are in Selangor.

These paramilitary can run down the police force any time with their sheer numbers, and yet how qualified are they, is a question that badly needs to be answered by the authorities.

The fact is, you only need to posses only a legal Malaysian Identity Card to be a RELA volunteer. Is this enough and are any background checks performed? The response from the authorities so far seems to be "No need lah, only like jaga-kereta boys, so why need background checks?"

7 vs 1 in the true spirit of RELA 1 Malaysia

So this means we have 2.5 million jaga-kereta boys in Malaysia who are empowered to rope in the 'illegal foreigners' we allowed into the country legally in the first place.

Even the so called rapist is a 35-year-old student from Nigeria. Which College actually enrolled him? Indeed, Malaysia seems to be becoming the world's largest college-hub in the world, with schools in every nook and corner teaching almost every available subject under the sun. No wonder, it is easy passage into the country for moon lighter.

What did Onachie Martins do to deserve death as a penalty? According to news reports, he hugged and kissed and showed his private part to a cleaner on the 15th floor of a condominium in Kajang. The terrified cleaner alerted the building management who allegedly sent the RELA men to investigate. The cleaner ran towards the approaching RELA personnel and barely minutes later, the Nigerian came down to the ground floor as well.

So our RELA guys caught the Nigerian and beat him up before tying him and informing the police. When the police arrived, he was motionless and the police then arrested the 7 RELA men. Just imagine 7 men raining blows on one man and he dies. FOLKS, THIS IS RELA 1 MALAYSIA for you.

The buck stops with the cousins

And this was the time bomb that a lot of concerned Malaysian citizens have been warning Prime Minister Najib Razak's government was waiting to happen. But did he and his cousin, the Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, listen?

Of course not. Instead, it is during Najib's tenure as PM and Hisham's as Home Minister that there has been such a huge jump in RELA officers. Ad if they continue to turn a blind eye and deaf ear, more such bombs will go off, that's for sure.

The RELA recruitment jump has prompted speculation that Umno, which is Malaysia's biggest political party, is involved and it has evil thoughts about using RELA to do a whole spectrum of dirty deeds, especially in Selangor, when the 13th general elections are held.

Should not the Pakatan Rakyat opposition and not to mention Bersih, the electoral watchdog, do something about RELA before the power-crazed cousins and their Umno-BN coalition go completely out of control?

Can the BN government justify the 2.5 million and growing numbers of RELA force? Do we really need these people on top of the police to safeguard the people? The Opposition has been crying foul for years, accusing the government of using these members to carry out fraud and even to stir up violence in the coming general elections.

Something stinks and is a huge drain on national resources

The question here is, do the government and the police need to have such a huge block of poorly-trained volunteers to safeguard the country against illegal foreigners when other arms of the same government had legally allowed them entry in the first place?

Under the pretext of issuing block approval for the outsourcing of permits to dubious foreign workers, local recruiting agencies have in hand thousands of calling visas for these foreigners. In other words, we actually brought in these illegals immigrants and in the 6P programme, we further registered about 1.5 million of them. And then, to control them lest they get up to mischief, Najib and Hisham recruited 2.5 million RELA members to protect the rest of the country.

No wonder, the Opposition smells a rat and  Idris Jala - the minister in Najib's department - has predicted bankruptcy for Malaysia by 2019.
