Americans say worse things about their government and their President. That does not make any less patriotic.

Human trafficking is a serious problem affecting countries across whose borders human beings are being trafficked. Governments should take a united stand and make a united effort to help fight human trafficking. It is after all modern day slavery.

Malaysian government and Malaysians can criticize the U.S. Government and the U.S. President and it will never be seen as interference in the domestic affairs of another sovereign state. Why is that different when the U.S. files its report on human trafficking and categorize countries into different tiers and place Malaysia in the 3rd tier?

If rampant human traffiking over the years has not by now stunned even the softest of hearts amongst BN MPs, would the fear of susceptibility to US sanctions for being classified in tier 3, worry them?

US sanctions may affect some of us but will they necessarily affect cronies’ deals and spin offs from government largesse and contracts of which BN’s politicians and cronies are beneficiaries?

In the first place our government takes pride in being an example and leader of the Muslim World, which in various flashpoints of the Middle East, Muslims are either engaged in direct conflict with or embroiled in their own internecine conflicts as a result of perceived geopolitical transgressions and interference of the US & its allies.

That being the case – when we have pretensions to judge and criticise the US on its moral behaviour – how could our government, in the reverse, openly and officially submit to the US’s judgment and classification of us of being third tier in human trafficking – that would be heresy – especially when the US itself is not above hypocrisy in that: -

· The US defence department had also hired trafficked workers in Iraq;

· although the report also declared the United States to be a “transit and destination country for trafficking”, the US has excluded herself from the classification;

· US multinationals come here for the cheap labour and they and their affiliates have benefited directly or directly from the “bonded labour” of migrant workers here ?

There is strong co-relation between Human trafficking on one hand and low status of women, as well as the weakness or corruption of law enforcement officials and poverty on the other.

BN’s ‘Patriots’ will say who is the US to foist upon us its values (which it does not even adhere to its own values in practice) or to try to change our patriarchal or corrupt culture, which is, if that were a problem, only ours to solve as a sovereign nation?

There are people who will sell their daughters, yes. I don’t know about mothers. They are a bit old. Don’t you think? Mine is almost 90 years old.

Anyway, YB can for the record bring it up in Parliament but it will be another exercise in futility if this BN Govt. runs true to form.

If the immigration procedures and computerized it is easy for them to check on the number of overstayed visitors and appropriately pay a visit to them. This work requires authorization of which NO ONE is bother to instruct or TAKE-CHARGE!.

Obviously with such lame officials, anyone could easily bring supplies from around the world without much hassle from the immigration officers. Sometimes directive from the tourism board to ease on the checks on visitors, the immigration officers now has an excuse if things goes wrong, but take this opportunity to ease their job(no need to work so hard).

The world sees upon this that our country has ample foreign prostitutes, beggin monks from oversea(probably forced into working for someone), construction workers without valid permit( forced labour), foreigners without work permits (eventhough they are working with the intention of making a living for themselves), we pay them because they are cheaper labour, hence we do not have to pay for their future welfare..primitive wage earners and we are taking advantage of this., and a lots more example.

The perception by our peers now being diminished because the lack of disciplinary attitude towards their job by the government sector. There is no need for accountability when things go wrong. The attitude you must protect me because we are the same.. it isnt my job..No one instruct me.. who cares, it is not my problem…etc etc etc.. are infused into their brains. Without punishment, no one will be threaten if they do not perform their duty to the RAKYAT.

Yes, our country indeed a H.Traffic offender as per the above headline.. and ONLY the government starts to realize that trying to save someones sorry S will eventually bring down the whole organization. The collapse eventually would be via change of government ( If we have an alternative government).

This perception will not change so soon… well, we still goes on with our life, nothing change.. time to “mind my own business”
