Polis Bantuan?

Notice anything unusual in the photo below.


Let me enlarge it a little.


I knew there are some Polis Bantuan or auxiliary police at the new JB checkpoint. But Polis Bantuan Tenaga Nasional Berhad was really an eye opener.This discovery did raised some questions for me.

I hope someone out there can help to clarify on it.
1)Under which Act and what criterias are GLCs or private companies given the authority to engage Polis Bantuan?
2) What are the conditions affecting the total no of Polis Bantuan that they can employ?
3) Are these Polis Bantuan employed directly by the end customer? Or does the end customer needs to get them from some PDRM approved security companies?
4)Do these Polis Bantuan have two ICs? Meaning a normal civilian Mykad and another police IC? Do they vote postally?

This Polis Bantuan group can be vulnerable to abuse. Their services are most probably contract which means it can be very easily terminated. Unlike normal PDRM police officers who has more job security and their dismissal requires standard review procedure.

What really worries me is that NGOs and opposition are not highlighting the possible adverse effect of Polis Bantuan on the electoral rolls. If I can see the potential abuse, you can bet that those power crazy and money hungry Barisan people will be on it.

The last thing this country needs are Polis Bantuan Telekom, Polis Bantuan Tabung Haji, Polis Bantuan Astro or even Polis Bantuan Peminjam Wang Berlesen.
