Seremban OCPD Saiful Azly Kamaruddin says the police cannot divulge details as it may affect their operations.
PETALING JAYA: The police refused to reveal details on whether the illegal gaming outlets and brothels in Seremban Jaya were being run by organised crime syndicates.
“I have to be silent on this as it may tamper with our operations,” said Seremban district police chief ACP Saiful Azly Kamaruddin.
However, Saiful assured the public that the police are doing their best to check on the illegal outlets by conducting regular raids on the premises, with the help of the Seremban Municipal Council and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).
“TNB helps us by disconnecting power supply to these outlets,” he told FMT.
Last week, several residents from Seremban Jaya complained that the soaring numbers of illegal gaming outlets and brothels in the area were causing serious social problems.
Alleging that the vice dens were run by crime syndicates, they said the outlets seemed to be well organised as the premises are guarded by thugs and only allow selected customers in, after being screened using CCTV.
Despite regular police raids, the residents said that the vice dens continue its operations, sometimes the very next day after police operation.
On the residents’ claims, Saiful urged the public to alert the authorities when the illegal outlets resume its operations following a raid.
“Though we are aware of its existence but we need the public’s help by reporting such matter to us. Let us know and we will take action against them,” said Saiful.
