Lawyers group: Yanking Bangladeshi man’s work pass only bolsters claim of migrant mistreatment
Monday, 13 Jul 2020 03:26 PM MYT BY EMMANUEL SANTA MARIA CHIN



KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 — Rights group Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) slammed the Immigration Department’s decision to revoke the work permit of a Bangladeshi man for speaking up in a recent documentary, pointing out such a move only served to strengthen allegations of migrant mistreatment in the country.

The group, through its coordinator Zaid Malek, said it was gravely concerned with the decision to revoke the man’s permit, pointing at the alarming extent local authorities are willing to go to in order to locate the foreigner.

Zaid, in his statement today, alleged that the revocation of the Bangladeshi’s permit was a “blatant abuse of power and flouting of the law” by the Immigration Department, pointing out that Section 9(1)(c ) of the Immigration Act only allows the cancellation of permits on the basis it is prejudicial to public order, public security, public health, or morality in Malaysian.

“It is inconceivable that the mere action of highlighting his plight to the media would fall under any of the categories listed under section 9(1)(c).

“It seems as if the Immigration Department is trying to legitimise the witch hunt on this man for daring to speak out against it.

This act only serves to strengthen the allegation that migrants are being unfairly treated and targeted by the authorities,” Zaid wrote in a statement today.

LFL then urged that the manhunt for the Bangladeshi be stopped immediately, before the public sees such moves being legitimised by authorities as a free-pass to initiate a witch-hunt against the foreigner.

“We demand the authorities to immediately halt its unjustified and unlawful pursuit of this man and strongly urge the government to immediately step in and stop this clear abuse of power by the authorities” he added.

This comes on the heels of Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador’s revelation that the 25-year-old man’s work permit had been revoked by the Immigration Department on Sunday.

The cancellation of his work permit, Abdul Hamid said, saw him become an undocumented migrant and who will now face deportation.

The man in question had appeared on the Doha-based news agency, Al-Jazeera’s Locked Up In Malaysia’s Lockdown that was aired on June 3.

As part of the agency’s 101 East segment, the production had highlighted criticism by human rights groups who accused the immigration authorities of serious violations when raids were conducted in red zones.

Ministers, the Immigration Department, and the police had all reacted to the documentary, with Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob demanding an apology from the news agency.

The programme has since led to a sedition and defamation investigation by Malaysian police on the Qatar-based news channel.

Immigration director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud has warned foreigners that making negative statements about Malaysia could result in their passes being revoked, a day before his department released the Bangladeshi’s personal details as it sought the public’s assistance in locating him.

The authorities’ move to go public with the Bangladeshi’s personal details also sparked a fresh round of xenophobic and anti-migrant sentiment on the department’s Facebook page, and was widely criticised by civil society organisations.

Malay Mail also reported lawyers saying while the threat by the Immigration Department was legal, it was also ‘extreme'.

On July 10, at least six Al Jazeera staff were summoned to Bukit Aman to facilitate investigations accompanied by their lawyers.

Groups voice concern over govt’s response to Al Jazeera report
Jason Thomas -July 17, 2020 7:40 AM



PETALING JAYA: Experts have voiced concern that the government’s response to a recent Al Jazeera documentary on Malaysia’s treatment of undocumented migrants during the Covid-19 pandemic is indicative of a more restrictive policy towards freedom of expression.

The report titled “Locked up in Malaysia’s Lockdown” on Al Jazeera’s 101 East programme on July 3 was slammed by ministers as inaccurate and unfair.

The government said the global news channel was being probed for sedition, defamation and improper use of network facilities, and the team behind the report was called in by police for questioning.

The experts noted that previous hard-hitting 101 East reports on Malaysia had not been met by the same level of outrage despite also alluding to mistreatment of migrants and alleging government corruption.

James Chin, director of the Asia Institute at the University of Tasmania, suggested that the crackdown against “bad news” was not limited to Al Jazeera.

He cited the ban on the book “Rebirth: Reformasi, Resistance, and Hope in New Malaysia” over the coat of arms issue, the probe on South China Morning Post correspondent Tashny Sukumaran for her report on undocumented migrant arrests in May, and the investigation against CodeBlue’s editor-in-chief Boo Su-Lyn over articles on the findings of an independent inquiry into a fire at Hospital Sultanah Aminah in Johor Bahru which killed six people in 2016 as other instances of government action against the media.

Because of the manner in which it came into power, the government appears less receptive to negative news which may have the tendency of questioning its legitimacy and competence, Chin said.

“The report is damaging as it is an international (broadcast) and calls into question the government’s competence in terms of rounding up migrants and mistreating them,” he said.

He said that apart from the largely successful response to the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of other news about the government internationally had been negative.

“If you look at it from that perspective, that’s why they are a bit worried, because this report also paints a negative view about their handling of Covid-19,” he said.

“(That is) why they are reacting strongly to it.”

Aira Azhari, manager of the democracy and governance unit at the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS), also noted that activists and politicians had been called in for questioning over their social media postings, while police were reported to have contacted the participants of a youth-run virtual parliament session.

“This trend suggests higher intolerance for dissenting viewpoints, perhaps motivated by the need to quell differing opinions,” Aira said.

While Covid-19 was not a factor in the report, she said the pandemic had brought to the forefront the longstanding problem of mistreatment of foreign workers, leakages and poor governance that allow the situation to continue, and rising xenophobic sentiments within certain sections of the Malaysian public.

Khoo Ying Hooi, secretary-general of the Society for the Promotion of Human Rights (Proham), told FMT a better approach to dealing with any concerns about the report would have been to engage with Al Jazeera in a dialogue.

Instead, Khoo said, the government’s response had “imposed fear and jeopardised media freedom”, a stance which 35 NGOs, including Proham, endorsed last week in a joint statement by The Centre for Independent Journalism.

“Instead of rebutting the documentary with evidence and facts, the government sadly has taken an overly defensive approach to the extent of using the Sedition Act and Penal Code on Al Jazeera’s reporters,” she said.

“They should rebut the documentary if they think the contents are not true but thus far, they have not been using a constructive approach in managing this issue.”

Al Jazeera defended the report as balanced despite being shunned by senior government officials and prohibited from attending ministerial press briefings. It also claimed that repeated requests for interviews were not accepted.

101 East had previously featured other reports on Malaysia which touched on undocumented workers, with one in 2014 titled “Malaysia’s unwanted” also showing immigration officials rounding up illegal immigrants and bringing them to detention centres.

A woman claimed in the report she had to drink toilet water at a detention centre, which also held children in contravention of international law. A senior Al Jazeera presenter was also said to have visited an immigration detention centre disguised as a priest, where he lent a detainee his phone for her to call her family.

Another 101 East report in 2017 titled “Malaysia’s Migrant Money Trail” alleged that corrupt officers in the home ministry and Immigration Department helped undocumented migrants enter Malaysia to work illegally.

It also claimed worker recruitment companies owned by members of a political party had violated immigration laws and bribed Indonesian embassy officials to bring foreign workers in.
