华人农历新年即将到来,为了达到更有效的执法和阻吓作用,交通部长宣布陆路交通局和交警将在“态度行动12“期间,安排便衣执法人员驾驶普通轿车在公路上巡逻和展开执法行动,以提高执法效率。 在这项行动中,执法人员不会截停车主,而只是抄下违规者的资料给当局。陆路交通局总监阿末穆斯达法说,如果车主认为本身是冤枉的,他可以提出证据及向执法当局上诉。 数日后,全国交警主任诺雅则宣布说,为了避免有人假冒交警,因此交警将派制服警察等上长途巴士来监督司机,确保长途巴士司机循规蹈矩和让公众人士安心,这与交通部长和陆路交通局总监之前的宣布大不相同 相比之下,诺雅的宣布是非常值得赞扬的,因为这显示交警在光明正大的监督长途巴士司机。 交通部长宣布执法人员将在佳节期间便衣执法令我脑海浮现的第一个问题便是,为何有关方面要偷偷摸摸的执法?部长大人说这将使驾车人士随时随地遵守交通规则,但是执法人员真的需要到穿便衣和驾驶普通轿车来执法吗? 这岂不是侵犯公众隐私,让驾车人士被无形的监视和追踪,这岂不是让人活在警察国里了吗?

向阿窿贷款将受惩
警察总部全国刑事调查主任尹树基日前向媒体汇报警方在打击大耳窿活动方面的进展,并说警方将建议政府修改法令,让向大耳窿借贷者也同样受到法律对付,理由是这些向大耳窿贷款者逼使逼使大耳窿用法罪手法,例如骚扰、动粗甚至谋杀,来向贷款者追讨他们借出的款项。 从理论来看,放高利贷既属非法活动,那么放高利贷者和借高利贷者都触犯了法律;一如卖淫和贩毒,卖淫者和嫖妓,贩毒者和吸毒者都会同样受到法律的对付一样。但是,警方的这建议是否合乎现实与人情,是否能真正解决大耳窿活动猖獗的问题呢? 从我所接触过的一些被大耳窿追债的个案看来,撇开一些为偿还赌债而借高利贷的个案不谈,很多借高利贷者都是低收入的市井小民,他们向大耳窿借钱的原因往往是为了解决短期的金钱需要,特别是解决生意周转的需求。这些小市民初时向大耳窿借贷的款额并不多,通常是数千到数万元,之后往往为了偿还庞大的利息而不断的再向其他大耳窿举债,导致他们拖欠的债务如雪球般的越滚越大,到无法偿还的地步,而饱受大耳窿的威胁与骚扰。
