Rela should not be allowed to carry firearms


ALOR SETAR, 28 Mac -- Antara 26 senapang patah dan peluru yang berjaya dirampas semula ekoran penangkapan seorang suspek berusia 55 tahun yang juga bekas pegawai Jabatan Sukarelawan Malaysia (RELA) Selama, Perak dalam aktiviti penjualan senjata api jabatan itu sejak lebih setahun lalu.--fotoBernama (2017) HAK CIPTA TERPELIHARA

THE folly of providing arms to Rela (People’s Volunteer Corps) has been laid bare by the discovery of the theft and subsequent sale to third parties by irresponsible Rela personnel who have since been arrested (The Star, March 27).

My worry is how many more of such cases have yet to be discovered. Even this discovery was made by a visiting audit team as opposed to a daily or routine check at the store itself. Very worrying indeed.
