Should the police be in business or law enforcement?
This raises the question as to any conflict of interest with them holding positions in both the law enforcement agency as well as the chairman and vice-chairman of a business conglomerate.
The conflict of interest becomes inevitable when law enforcement agencies are involved in businesses. It creates opportunities for abuse of power and leads to corruption.

14 June 2020
Death camps known as Wang Kelian situated at the Malaysia/Thailand border were exposed five years ago with a staggering number of 147 graves and 130 human skeletons found.

This involves atrocious and systematic violence perpetrated against women, men and children. Major figures in Thai institutions and agencies were arrested and prosecuted in Thailand but nothing has been done in Malaysia besides the formation of a Royal Commission of Inquiry in January 2019. RCI’s findings were supposed to be presented by the end of September 2019.The then-Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin stated in January this year the commission had completed its report, and it had already been presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. There are no signs of the report until now.
