15
foreign masseuses held at reflexology centre
JOHOR
BARU: Fifteen foreign female masseuses were detained in
a raid at a traditional reflexology centre in Jalan Pingai, Taman Pelangi here
last week. Of the 15 women, eight of them were believed to be victims of a
human trafficking syndicate.
The eight, seven Cambodians and an Indonesian,
between the ages of 18 and 20, were believed to have been brought into the
country legally under the pretext of securing jobs in factories.
The raid was
conducted by a team from the Federal Police Anti-Vice, Gaming and Secret
Societies (D7) division following a tip-off.
Let me tell this as
it is – as it should be told rather then the above media headlines which seems
to tell us that PDRM is on top of everything. In this matter what they are on
top off is open to conjecture. I want to say here categorically that 90% of
these “reflexology centre” in this country are fronts for prostitution. Full
stop!
Let us take Jalan
Bukit Bintang. The massage centers, SPA, reflexology centers on that street and
on the side street running off Jalan Bukit Bintang are centers for
prostitution. The Massage Center at the Federal Hotel – a center for prostitution
that not only has the vice squad officers on a monthly retainer but also
entertains them on a need basis – not their needs but PDRM needs. This massage
center is confident enough to have Malay girls on their premises without fear
of being raided by PDRM or the religious authorities.
You can see the cars
carrying these ladies of the evenings to and fro along these streets delivering
them to the various hotels and massage parlors for them to do their “business”
and their business is prostitution!
Chinese from China, Cambodians, Thai, Burmese’s, Indons, Russians – for
a price they can all be got in Jalan Bukit Bintang.
Stake out the back of
Federal Hotel – the road between the Hotel and the Bowling alley – and you see
the activities of these pimps with their females. Gone are the days when only
Protons were exclusively used (a fact that Mahathir would have approved – the
use of Proton I mean!) – but no longer because Proton cars die too soon though
you do see them sometimes – but there is no denying the existence of these
pimps and their charges – and where are the Police? Where are the Federal
Police Anti-Vice and D7 officers?
I am accusing them of
complicity - if not all of them
then the majority of them. Of complicity in ensuring that not only do the trade
in these females flourish but it also stays beyond the reach of the law and
religious authorities. Are you telling me that PDRM is not aware of these
activities? That the IPK Selangor situated in the heart of things – in front of
the Pudu Jail - is totally
ignorant of this lucrative business in Bukit Bintang?
I tell you that they
are in cahoots with the heavenly kings that control this trade. I tell you that
the senior officers are receiving monthly retainers to turn a blind eye for
amounts of Ringgits that would tempt many of us to want to join PDRM in droves.
I tell you that this rot snakes itself from the lowest ranked constable to
whoever is needed to ensure that the trade continues to thrive.
As Sgt Schultz of
Hogan Heroes said”
“Shoud it
ever happen again I will report you to your superior officer and then to his
superior officer and even to his superior officer. I will report it all the way
up until it comes back to me and if I ever report it to myself…you are going to
be in trouble!”
(Please refer to the above Sgt Schultz clip for more info!)
(Please refer to the above Sgt Schultz clip for more info!)
So all bases have to be covered and it starts with complicity at the highest level in PDRM.
Where should PDRM
start if they want to clean up Bukit Bintang from these activities? Pick any of
these establishments. Any one of them and do a stake out in the open. Just
place a police patrol car out front or at the back entrance. Take photos of anyone visiting. That
will stop all the customers from frequenting these places. When the customers
stops coming – the business closes. The girls have no jobs and they will have
to go back to Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Indonesia – wherever they came from.
No worries about them not being able to leave just because they have
overstayed. A system already exists between them and Immigration to allow them
to leave anytime they want once they have paid what the immigration officers
wants to allow them to leave our country without any hassle….see how
accommodating immigration can be when there is something in it for them on a
personal level!
So Mr. IGP – are you
denying that you and your officer turn a blind eye to these activities? The
public who frequent Bukit Bintang can see what is happening. The Public does
not have to stake out any establishment. They do not have to spend hours
investigating what is going on - it
is there in front of their eyes! Is PDRM idea of passive containment for mutual
gain?
I am not even going
to write about Jalan Chow Kit ! If you cannot manage Bukit Bintang then let us
just pretend that the drugs dealing and the flesh trade in Chow Kit does not
exists. Let us just pretend that all is good in that part of town. But do not
think that we do so because we are heeding your demand that we leave PDRM in
peace to do their job.
Why IGP are you
telling us to let a sleeping tiger alone? That PDRM is the sleeping tiger? Huh!
You stand up and talk your head off about us doing what PDRM wants us to do.
You go on and on about PDRM being maligned and bad mouth by the public. Mr IGP
Tan Sri Sir you choose to not see what your officers are doing. We cannot
because we are at the receiving end of it all. We bear the brunt of your PDRM
thugs pushing their weight around in order to line up their pockets. Your
constable on the beat have to work hard for their share of our money because
after all their officers are getting monthly pay-off of up to $20K to $30K a
month in Bukit Bintang alone. And these are not figures I pick out of the air.
Go to IPK Selangor and see for yourself what car your officer drives, what car
their wives drives – and just for the fun of it – search the pockets of each
and everyone in that IPK building and see what you get!
So much corruption. So much abuse of power. So much complicity
in c rimes with the criminal
elements of Kuala Lumpur. And so many of your officers involved. …and you
wonder why we look upon PDRM with contempt and disgust?
