Rela men break locks to enter houses
CHINA Press front-paged complaints from residents of about 10 households in Taman Anggerik, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, that Rela personnel crashed into their homes after breaking door locks and smashing gates, and told them they were looking for illegal workers.
The residents said the Rela personnel acted like gangsters and showed them no respect.
When they asked the Rela personnel to explain why they crashed into their homes, they were told “we are the law.”
One resident said he rented a house to be used as his office and told the Rela personnel no one stayed in the house, but they ignored him and broke the door lock to search the premises.
The daily said the man also claimed cash totalling RM3,756 in his drawer was subsequently found missing.
Another resident said he was upstairs when he heard a commotion and before he could rush downstairs to see what was happening, Rela personnel had broken his gate.
The daily said the residents had lodged a police report.
A lawyer told the paper that the Rela personnel were not police and had no right to crash into the homes of residents and search their homes without a search warrant.
He said the residents could take legal action against the Rela personnel.
Meanwhile, various Chinese dailies reported that Genting group chairman, president and chief executive Tan Sri K. T. Lim had given his eldest son a RM16mil 21st birthday gift – a piece of land worth S$7mil (RM15.4mil) in Sentosa, Singapore, which he had bought recently.
