Illegal Malaysian Slot Machine Dens
Christopher Wen is one busy man; he has
made it his mission to crack down on
illegal slot machine dens. His mission
is two fold – to close down all illegal
slot machine dens and to boost public
confidence in the police – two very
difficult jobs. He wants people to see
that not only are slot machines illegal,
but that the police are more than
qualified to both find those slot
machines and to protect the public’s
well being.
Wen says that he is planning on having
all of the illegal slot machine dens
closed down by March, which will hurt
the businesses of Malaysia deeply.
Illegal slot machines are one of their
most lucrative businesses for their
criminal element. Wen says he does not
know how many of these illegal slot
machine dens exist, and knows that there
were literally thousands at one point.
He is confident however, that those
numbers are dropping steadily.
Wen originally made it his mission to
crack down on the illegal slot machines
because of the complaints he was
receiving about people becoming addicted
to the machines and were getting into
serious financial trouble. He was mostly
concerned however, with the high numbers
of children who were being lured in to
play the slot machines instead of going
to school.
Because of the problems that the police
force has seen over the past few years –
problems with corruption, poor service,
abuse of power, etc. – Wen thinks that
these slot machine raids are the perfect
beginning to showing their residents
that the police are back the way they
should be and will be protecting them
from harm.
