MIC Youth against hiring ex-Sri Lankan soldiers as guards

The Malaysian Government should not allow the hiring of former Sri Lankan soldiers as security guards in view of security and human rights concerns, said Malaysian Indian Congress Youth (MIC) chief C. Sivarraajh.
He said any move to hire them must take into consideration the sensitivities of the Tamil community in the country.
Malaysian Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed had been quoted as saying that the Government might lift the ruling of allowing only Nepalis to be hired as security guards.
“We may have to look at other source countries that have a good supply of security guards with military background, such as Sri Lanka,” he was quoted as saying.
