Is it true that No One is above the law in Malaysia ?

The Honourable Home Minister used to tell the Malaysian public that No One is Above the Law in Malaysia. It is a shame and disgrace that a foreigner from France Laurent Francois Savornin is seen to be above the law in this country. As a Malaysian citizen, I had felt as though I am living in a " French Territory " and had to accept the facts that Frenchman is Above Malaysia's Immigration Laws.

The Foreign Minister used to tell the public that all foreigners who landed on Malaysian soil must respect the rules of law in this country. But in reality, it is sad to learn that not all foreigners have respect for the rules of law in Malaysia. In the case of Frenchman Laurent Francois Savornin, he has had violated the laws (i.e. abused his social visit pass and professional pass to work full-time as a General Manager ) repeatedly since 16/3/2009 and yet he was granted an Employment Pass by the Immigration Department from 6/5/2011 to 5/5/2013.

It is bad that a foreigner could makes a mockery of the laws of this country. The worst scenario is that the enforcement agency ( Immigration Department ), the Ministry ( KDN ), the Public Complaint Bureau in the Prime Minister's Department and the Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN) were also making a mockery of the rules of law of this country.

Malaysia is indeed a haven to Frenchman Laurent Francois Savornin when he was exempted from actions of the law by the Immigration Department even though he has had violated his social visit pass and professional pass to work as General Manager in Malaysia. The inactions of the KDN, the PCB and the Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN) over the public complaint against the Frenchman have given the Immigration Department a full clearance and green light to proceed with the granting of Employment Pass to Laurent Francois Savornin for two years effective 6/5/2011.

As of today, all the follow-up e-mails to the Chief Secretary to the Government regarding the public complaint against Laurent Francois Savornin remain unanswered - and this is evidence that the KSN himself is a hypocrite when he wrote in the Star daily about the achievements of the country's civil service. He is seen to be of great service to the foreigner who violated the laws of this country and not to his fellow citizens of Malaysia.

It is shocking and shameful that civil servants with honorific titles ( such as Tan Sris and Datuks ) were seen to be making a mockery of the rules of laws of this country and seen to be going all out to close a public complaint case against Frenchman Laurent Francois Savornin for his deliberate violations of the laws of Malaysia.

The Frenchman who's above the country's Immigration Laws should count his blessings that he was protected by the high-ranking officials of this country ( simply because he was working as General Manager in the RM12 billion EDTP between Ipoh and Padang Besar ) and with his continued stay in Malaysia till 5/5/2013, it can be concluded that It is not true that no one is above the law in Malaysia.

To be above the law in Malaysia, Laurent Francois Savornin has certainly knew the right people within the BN Government to the extents that even the KSN is willing to close his case and disregarded a citizen's complaint against the Frenchman.

So, it is not a surprise at all when there were news reports that one of the ex-IGP is involved in protecting a underworld boss. If such protection to Frenchman Laurent Francois Savornin could happened in Immigration Department, this kind of protection could also happened elsewhere in other government agencies in Malaysia.

So, the public should never trust 100% whatever the BN Ministers ( both Home & Foreign ) were saying in public. They will always said that they will act but in the case of Frenchman Laurent Francois Savornin, it is NOT TRUE that no one is above the law in Malaysia even though his countryman William Bourdon was deported last July for the same offence of violation of the social visit pass in Malaysia.

Bonjour to Malaysia ( Selamat Pagi Malaysia ) and merci ( terima kasih ) for making it known that it is not true at all that No One is above the law in Malaysia. Laurent Francois Savornin is indeed above the law.
