Outdated

Article is missing significant new developments:

- 2012-04-01: RELA members detained after beating to death a Nigerian student

- 2012: Also found this news -

Under the Malaysia Volunteers Corps Bill 2012 passed in Parliament on April 20 and expected to be gazetted next month, Rela members would no longer have the power to make arrests or carry firearms... The law also requires those who are no longer members to return their uniforms and certificate of appointment within 14 days of leaving the corps. Previously, it was not an offence for them to keep their uniforms even after resigning from the agency... The new law also limits the period of enrolment for Rela members to five years, after which, the status of membership has to be renewed by an authorised officer. Those below the age of 18 would also have their membership revoked under the increased age requirement when the Malaysia Volunteers Corps Act 2012 comes into force from June 22. The existing enrolment age for Rela members is 16 for girls and 17 for boys.

This info is all from 2012 and I have not yet found later info (e.g, whether or not the new law actually went into effect). Would be optimal if a knowledgeable person could update the article. --Zahzuhzaz (talk) 17:40, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
