Poor Nepali!

themalaysianinsider : Freeze on Nepali security jobs
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 — The government has announced an immediate freeze on employing Nepalis as security guards and might send back, in batches, about 300,000 already hired on the grounds that they might pose a security risk.
This is the most absurd excuse one can think of to lay off those hard working Nepali guards! I have worked with them before, i can say that they are reliable, hardworking & very dedicated in doing their work!

Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar told Parliament that too many Nepalis were employed in the security industry and most had military training and could handle firearms.
Only now our Minister knows that there are too many Nepali guards in the country????? You mean you didnt know and didn't check beofre this????

"They pose a possible security risk," Syed Hamid said.
The way i see it now, politician posed more security risks than the Nepali guards!

Lawyers and human rights activists dismiss the security fears, saying the government is looking for excuses to create jobs for unemployed Malaysians whose numbers have risen from about 3,000 in September last year to around 80,000.
Spot on!

"They all have military training, which can be a security risk to the country," he said. "If the security industry has only foreigners, it will have an impact on national security if not handled well."
Does that mean you did not handle it well since it now becomes security threat & pose national security, Mr Minister ????

Syed Hamid said locals in the security industry numbered about 200,000.
Have you seen our local guards???? I dare not say all of them but surely most of them became guard because they have no other choice. Most of them are not interested and couldn't care less. Their performance are surely not up to Nepali's standard! Say what you what to say but that's the truth! I know it and you know it!

"They are just finding excuses to get rid of the Nepali security guards," said Irene Fernandez of Tenaganita, a human rights NGO.
What a lousy excuse! Maybe next he will say that those taekwondo, karate exponents in Malaysia need to be sent to other countries because they pose security threat too.

"Going by experience, Nepalis are hardworking, committed and very law-abiding," she said, urging the government to respect national and international labour codes when sending home retrenched workers.
I totally agree!
