GAMBLERS GET NIK-ED IN MALAYSIA
Betting venues were close to police stations, say officials
The New Straits Times reports that four gambling dens were uncovered just 100 metres from a police station during an operation in Sekinchan last weekend.
Barely 48 hours later, a similar operation was discovered....this time just 300 metres away from the Kampung Baru Subang police station.
The Subang premises, masquerading as an Internet cafe, was equipped with 30 computers worth almost RM100 000, installed with gambling software. A team of six men led by Selangor anti-vice, gaming and secret societies deputy chief ASP Nik Roshdi Nik Yahya raided the two-storey corner shophouse at night, but found no-one home other than a Bangladeshi worker, who was arrested.
It is believed the premises had been in operation for nearly a year and was popular among the locals and foreign workers.
The officer-in-charge of the Sekinchan police station has been hauled over the coals and asked to explain how illegal gaming activities were allowed to operate 100 metres away from his station. Selangor police chief Datuk Ismail Omar, while not going into details, said he was not satisfied with the explanation given by the officer.
"Sekinchan, which comes under the Sabak Bernam police district, is a small area. Illegal gaming activities can be curbed easily," he said. He added that the matter is now being investigated and declined to comment further.
In similar cases previously, several police officers and personnel were transferred out of the district after gaming and vice activities were uncovered in their area.
Ismail said all district police chiefs were warned that action would be taken against them if they "close an eye" to illegal activities in their respective districts.
For the past six months, the state police's anti-vice, gaming and secret society division has been conducting daily operations on gambling and vice activities.
Last Saturday night, Federal CID director Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee led a team raifing other gambling dens in Sekinchan.The raiding party seized 241 slot machines valued at RM723 000 which offered jackpot and mahjong games.
