300 odds inmates of Menggatal Temporary Detention Camp for illegal immigrants
from Indonesia and Philippines started a riot and 62 of them broke lose and
escaped. The cause of the riot was due to the slow response of medical personnel
to attend a child inside the camp, and the inmates started yelling and more and
more joined in until the situation was out of control. This showed that the
personnel watching over the detenees did not realize who they are dealing with,
they thought these people are like our law abidding (timid) citizens and become
complacent. There were many riots broken out in illegal immigrants detention
camps in West Malaysia in the past, and our people here failed to learn a lesson
from them. How sad!
