Cuepacs against Single Border Agency for all entry checkpoints

PETALING JAYA: Cuepacs, the union representing government workers, says it is “completely opposed” to the establishment of the Single Border Agency (SBA) to take over the roles and duties of government agencies at the country’s entry points.

Cuepacs president Adnan Mat said the decision was reached during the Peninsular Malaysia Customs Officers Union’s conference in Ayer Keroh, Melaka, today.

The SBA has been in the works for the past few years, with the home ministry stating that such an agency would strengthen border security nationwide.

In addition to the customs department, there are several other agencies involved in guarding the country’s borders such as the immigration department, with Adnan saying that they have all done their job well.

“Take the example of the customs department. For the past few years, their collections have always exceeded the target set by the government,” he said.

“This means that they have performed their duties well. Why should this task be given to a new agency whose effectiveness is still unknown?

“It’s like the government wants to gamble with the national revenue collection if SBA is formed.”

Adnan said Cuepacs is confident that other agencies stationed at the country’s borders also carry out their duties and roles as effectively as the customs department.

He said the current multi-agency, multi-level gate control system is better than the country’s borders being controlled by a single agency.

He also called on the government to conduct negotiations and engagement sessions with representatives and labour unions before reaching decisions which involve the civil service.

“More than 22 road traffic fatalities per 100,000 have occurred on Malaysia’s highways, only the second highest number of road traffic deaths in the world after Saudi Arabia,” it said.

Kuwait topped the list of countries with the world’s worst roads, followed by Costa Rica, Georgia, Panama and New Zealand.
