Gambling den owners flee Melaka


All gone quiet: One of the suspected illegal gambling dens near Semabuk, Melaka, which is not in operation anymore. Inset: Melaka top cop DCP Abdul Jalil.

MELAKA: The kingpins of illegal gambling dens, including one “head honcho” who is said to behind about 80% of the outlets, are now on the run and have fled the state following the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commis­sion (MACC) crackdown and police operations.

The head honcho of the major illegal online gambling dens in Melaka Tengah district has closed operations for fear of action ordered by Melaka police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Abdul Jalil Hassan, who has vowed to come down hard on the ring leaders.
