'Unmanned checkpoint booth confuses S'poreans' by KaiYan
I think the behaviors of some Malaysian immigration officers are absurd.
Two female Singaporeans were blackmailed, forced to sign documents, stripped naked and made to do ten squats. They were then detained in a place infested with pest. I find that the treatment they received is really unfair. What had happened was that they assumed that the thumbprint system was ahead and they drove on, but there was none. It was not their fault that the booth was unmanned. They were honest to make a U-Turn back to the custom to have their passport stamped. However, they were accused of illegal entry to Malaysia. The inhumane officers then made them do the unreasonable things as mentioned.
Another two Singaporeans went to Malaysia. The immigration officer sat in the booth with the lights turned off. The officer allowed them through without stamping their passports. Thinking that there is another booth ahead, they drove on. When they have reached Singapore’s custom, they were advised by the Singapore immigration officers to return to Malaysia’s custom to have their passports stamped. Fortunately, both the Singaporeans were unpunished.
I think that the Malaysian government should be held responsible for the two absurd cases mentioned. The government should punish those unreasonable immigration officers severely. What they have done is unforgivable and unreasonable. They should also train the other staffs professionally to prevent the same situation from happening again in future. If this were to continue, many Singaporeans would be unreasonably punished for something they were not at fault.
