The illegal gambling dens not just limited in Penang, I saw at least five internet cafes with tinted glasses in my housing and surrounding estates. Some areas are under the jurisdiction of DBKL and some under the Kajang Municipal.
Why no actions are taken against such transparent and open illegal businesses?
Who supposed to cramp down these illegal gambling dens? Police is responsible for cramping down illegal gambling and local council is responsible to shut down business premises without license or abuse its license.
I as a normal citizen can see these internet cafes operating in dubious manner and why police and local council cannot find them. This is a mystery!
Police waits until rakyats like Pertiga have to take their own drastic action to shut down these illegal businesses.
Hisham fails again as Home Minister, he only capable to manage his home, not the nation.
Group ‘raids’ two cyber cafes
By WINNIE YEOH
GEORGE TOWN: The operators of two cyber cafes on Jalan Rumbia, Bukit Jambul hastily closed down their business after seeing some 50 people gathering in front of their premises.
Their workers pulled down the roller shutters minutes after seeing the men converging there to protest at about 9.15pm last night.
The group, known as the Pertubuhan Islam Gabungan Amal (Pertiga), had earlier labelled Penang a “mini Las Vegas” for allegedly having more than 300 premises housing illegal gambling machines.
Pertiga president Sabaruddin Ahmad lodged a report at the Sungai Nibong police station at about 10pm claiming the two premises were gambling dens.
He said the glasses of the premises were heavily tinted and only several pieces of A4 paper printed with ‘1 Hour RM3.35’ were pasted on them.
“They also have a door bell and a CCTV outside the premises.
“If you are a legal business offering Internet services, why the need for dark glasses, door bell and CCTV surveillance?” he said after checking the premises.
Sabaruddin said each of these premises had at least 50 gaming machines.
“We will continue to monitor the activities of cyber cafes and take photographs before lodging police reports,” he said.
He added that there were about six cyber cafes in Bukit Jambul.
