PETALING JAYA: Chairman of MyWatch R Sri Sanjeevan has accused Perak acting Chief Police Officer and Deputy Commissioner of Police of not taking a hard stance on the thousands of illegal and online gambling dens operating openly in the state of Perak.

In a statement Sanjeevan said, “MyWatch expresses our deepest regret and disappointment with Perak Police and the current acting CPO/DCP A Paramasivam for failing to act against all these illegal gambling outlets”.

Saying there were at least 2,500 such gambling dens in Perak, Sanjeevan added that they were “operating freely without fear of action by police.”

He also said, “Being the acting CPO, I believe Paramasivam should go hard on all these activities and launch a major crackdown on the entire syndicate.”

Accusing A Paramasivam of waiting for orders from the Inspector General of Police before taking any action Sanjeevan added, “If so then we don’t need you to be there as CPO in Perak.”

Expressing further his disappointment with the state of affairs in Perak and the CPO’s apparent non-action, Sanjeevan said, “If he (CPO) fails to do so then IGP Khalid Abu Bakar should put serious consideration in replacing him with someone who can do a better job because failure to perform cannot be tolerated in an enforcement agency like PDRM.”

In said this in light of the recent call by IGP Khalid to put an end to all illegal and online gambling dens nationwide.

Praising Khalid, Sanjeevan said, “…this clearly shows his commitment in combatting crime and criminals.”
