NO. DATES PLACES OF DETENTION ISSUES OBSERVED There is an evident lack of counselling for juveniles at these detention centres. Juveniles should be able to receive counselling to set them back on the right path. The Department of Social Welfare has received the relevant recommendations pertaining to this issue. SUHAKAM found that for these two police stations, there is a clear need for further exposure to the Royal Malaysia Police SOP and 1953 Lockup Rules, in light of the management of detainees. 3. 15 March 2018 Lenggeng Immigration Depot, Negeri Sembilan The hygiene of food and drinks served during SUHAKAM’s visit was very poor, much less the food and drinks served to the detainees. This was not the first time the food supplier has received a warning. The lack of assistant medical officers continues to be a problem. The ratio of detainees to assistant medical officers is too high. There are insufficient personnel guarding the cells. The frequent occurrence of undesirable events such as fights between detainees can clearly be prevented by an increase in the number of these personnel. Insufficient funds leading to a myriad of problems including but not limited to, lack of a water filtration system for each block, poor airflow system that causes the temperature in the cells to be unbearable on top of having poor ventilation. There’s poor maintenance of street lights surrounding the Depot for night-time monitoring. Further, the patients from the Lenggeng Immigration Depot queue in the same lane as the public when receiving treatment at the Emergency & Trauma department, causing the queue to be needlessly long. 72 SUHAKAM ANNUAL REPORT 2018
