JENAYAH JUVANA SILAP SIAPA: BUKAN SALAH IBU MENGANDUNG

Jenayah juvana di Malaysia kini sedang meningkat pada kadar yang membimbangkan.

Semua anak-anak, tanpa mengira, kaum, status serta gaji ibu bapa, kawasan tempat tinggal atau sekolah terdedah kepada risiko melakukan jenayah. Statistik terkini ialah terdapat 1.5 penjenayah di kalangan setiap 1000 orang pelajar.

Ini kerana faktor persekitaran yang terlampau yang mampu mempengaruhi minda pelajar sama ada ingin mencuba atau sudah menjadi tabiat yang bukan sahaja menyeronokkan malah mendapat pendapatan lumayan dari aktiviti jenayah. Apakah di antara jenayah yang telah dapat menarik pengikut/pelaku: rogol, bunuh dan rompak.

Juvenile crime is on the rise: Lam Thye


Juvenile crime is on the rise with students involved in serious crime such as murder, rape and robbery.

Last year, 3,629 students aged between 13 and 18, were arrested for various crimes - 388 more compared to 2007.

There is now 1.5 criminal to every 1,000 students.

Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) vice-chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said 295 students were caught in the first two months of this year.

“Although it is considered low but they (the students) are not supposed to get involved. Their duty is to study,’’ he said.

He said MCPF acknowledged the seriousness of the matter and felt that it had to be tackled with no delay.

Thus, a working committee headed by Prof Dr Rahimah Abdul Aziz of the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Science and Social Development Faculty was established to draw up strategies in combating juvenile crime, said Lee.

“A memorandum will be submitted to the government in about three-month time,’’ he said.

He said MCPF would review the Crime Prevention Club programme at school-level, adding the club was established at 3,764 schools nationwide.

“We found that some of the clubs are inactive. We will meet the respective school authorities and police liaison officer to reactivate the clubs,’’ he said.

He said schools with an active Crime Prevention Club were found to have better discipline record.

He said external factors, such as unhealthy entertainment outlets and cyber cafes, exposed youths to bad influences, including cigarette smoking, pornographic materials and gambling.

Lee urged the enforcement authorities to enhance operations at these premises.

He also called on the government to impose a harsh punishment on these irresponsible operators.

Gangsterisme di kalangan belia India membimbangkan

Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri T Murugiah akan mengadakan perjumpaan dengan pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) India dalam masa terdekat bagi membincang serta mengambil langkah menangani masalah gangsterisme di kalangan belia India yang semakin berleluasa.

Murugiah berkata dianggarkan lebih kurang 100,000 orang, kebanyakannya belia India, terbabit dalam pelbagai kegiatan gangsterisme dan ini amat membimbangkan semua pihak.

Sambil menyifatkan ia sebagai gejala sosial yang serius, Murugiah berkata, laporan akhbar hampir setiap hari menyebut pembabitan pemuda keturunan India dalam aktiviti gangsterisme dan jenayah lain, dan tanpa langkah berkesan, masalah ini akan bertambah lebih serius pada masa akan datang.

Murugiah berkata sasaran utama perbincangan nanti untuk membebaskan pelajar sekolah menengah kaum India daripada gangsterisme kerana gejala itu sudah menular di kalangan pelajar dengan adanya kes peras ugut wang perlindungan.

"Saya minta semua NGO India tampil bantu tangani masalah ini dan turun padang ke kawasan yang ada masalah ini dan proaktif mengatasinya. Saya sanggup beri sokongan dan bantuan yang diperlukan," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan persidangan perwakilan Persatuan Sivik India Malaysia ke-14 di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC), di sini hari ini.

Murugiah berkata antara punca pembabitkan belia India dalam kegiatan gangsterisme adalah kerana ibu bapa kurang memberikan perhatian dan pegawasan kepada anak-anak serta apa yang mereka lakukan di luar rumah. - Bernama

Murugiah Mahu Jumpa Pegawai Dan Anggota Polis Keturunan India


Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, T Murugiah mahu mengadakan perbincangan dengan pegawai dan anggota polis dari keturuan India bagi mencari jalan serta pendekatan berkesan bagi membanteras masalah jenayah di kalangan belia kaum itu.

Katanya beliau akan berjumpa dengan Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Musa Hassan, dalam masa terdekat ini untuk memohon supaya perjumpaan itu dapat diadakan.

Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan mesyuarat Persatuan Ibu Bapa dan Guru (PIBG) Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Puteri di sini Sabtu.

Murugiah berkata peningkatan jenayah golongan belia kaum India kini pada tahap membimbangkan dan memerlukan penyelesaian dengan kadar segera bagi mengelak lebih ramai terbabit.

"Dianggarkan lebih kurang 100,000 orang kebanyakannya belia India terbabit dalam pelbagai kegiatan gengsterisme dan kekurangan pemantauan ibu bapa merupakan antara punca peningkatan masalah sosial ini," katanya.

IGP worried over student involvement in crimes

KUALA LUMPUR (March 31, 2009) : Murder, rape, armed robbery and rioting.

Its appears that over the past two years, these were no more the domain of seasoned criminals.

Since 2007, the police have detected an increase in the number of cases involving students aged between 13 and 18, who have been linked to such crimes.

Understandably, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan is alarmed over this phenomenon.

Of the 3,383 people detained for various crimes in 2007, Musa said 3,241 were aged between 13 to 18.

Last year, 3,725 students were nabbed, with 3,629 of those involved aged between 13 and 18.

"The cases comprise murder, rape, robbery, rioting, theft, break-in and others," he said in a speech in conjuction with the police cadet corps 39th anniversary celebrated nationwide today.

The speech was read by Kuala Lumpur police deputy chief Datuk Abdul Samah Mat during the Kuala Lumpur contingent-level celebrations here.

Meanwhile, Musa said results of a joint study by the Malaysian Institute for Research in Youth Development and the Centre of Education for Psychology and Development Malaysia found that 87% of 'Mat Rempit' were made up those aged between 14 to 25.

The study revealed that 48.1% of 'Mat Rempit' attributed their activities to boredom, while 38% said it was to while away the free time. About 27.8% said they were influenced by peers.

"These activities can be prevented if students are given exposure and clear information on the affects and consequences of being involved with crime," said Musa.

He said members of the corps, which currently had almost 89,110 members nationwide, could act as the eyes and ears of the police and play a main role in reducing problems at school, especially gangsterism.

The police chief said, the corps should give input and information to the police as that would help solve cases.

Established on March 2, 1970, the corps is a co-curriculum programme in secondary schools, and coordinated by the education ministry and the police.
