Cop Transferred Over Slot Machines

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Division Director Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee is now in possession of 178 slot machines. The slot machines were seized during raids of seven different entertainment establishments that allowed illegal gambling. One of the slot machine establishments was only 500 meters from the police station. They also arrested 59 people in conjunction with the slot machine raid.

Because of the proximity to the police station and the number of slot machines seized, Sekinchan Police Chief Inspector Hasrul Mohd Salleh has been transferred to the Selangor police headquarters. The police chief said that he was being transferred because he was allowing gambling to go on right under his nose. He said that even if he did not have knowledge of the actual slot machines, he still wasn’t doing his job well enough if it was going on.

Sabak Bernam district Police Chief Superintendent Zamri Shamsuddin is also being investigated in the slot machine raids. The Chief said that this is an example of what will happen if the police do not crack down on illegal activities, including slot machines and gambling. The Anti-Corruption Agency is also investigating the slot machine parlors and how they came to be located so closely to the police departments.
