ANNUAL REPORT 2019
No.
Date
Observation
CCTV facilities
CCTVs should be installed so the
staff can easily monitor the
detention cells and the depot.
Toilet Facilities
The male detainees are using
the bucket system to urinate and
defecate because the way to
the toilets is locked and only
opened during morning and
evening bath times. SUHAKAM
recommends this path is made
accessible, and for an end to the
bucket system which diminishes
the dignity of detainees.
Courses and Training for Members
Each member should be given
adequate training in the care and
management of prisoners and be
able to deal with emergencies
such as fights and riots. The
Immigration Department can
work with the Malaysian Prisons
Department to provide the training
as the Prisons Department is more
experienced in handling large
numbers of prisoners.
Notifications / Alerts to Immediate
Family Members
The depot should assist detainees
who wish to inform their immediate
family members of their detention.
