KUALA LUMPUR: The home minister is pushing for a drastic move in hopes of crippling institutionalised corruption at the borders, as a damning intelligence report emerged to reveal that most law enforcement officers manning the country’s entry and exit points were on the take. Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the New Straits Times that he would present his case to the cabinet today on why it was more crucial than ever for enforcement agencies guarding the borders to be relieved of their duties. He wants them to be replaced with the military. “I cannot tolerate this. That is why I will take this up with the cabinet tomorrow (today) to ask that the army takes over fully. “It is high time for the army to be put in charge of the borders as it is not only about security, but also defence. It is the country’s first line of defence and I have always felt that this should be the way, even when I was defence minister. “The issue of institutionalised corruption, where these law enforcement officers know the syndicate members well, must be arrested once and for all,” he said. Zahid said he would also raise the issue of the country’s perimeter fencing, which was practically non-existent. “When even nations with electrical, high, concrete fencing had to grapple with the problem of encroachment, imagine the problem we are facing. Our border areas that are being penetrated are not rat lanes (lorong tikus). They are elephant lanes that are easily accessible.” He added that the Malaysian Anti-Smuggling Unit should also operate beyond its fixed checkpoints at the border to arrest rampant smuggling.
