KUALA LUMPUR – A man and two women, all local, have been arrested in connection with two more Hari Raya Aidilfitri-themed videos promoting online gambling activities.
Dang Wangi police chief Mohamad Zainal Abdullah said the three suspects, aged 21 to 42, were detained around the capital after police detected two more videos promoting online gambling – lasting 30 seconds and 48 seconds, respectively – yesterday.
So far, he added, police have received two reports on the matter.
“The suspects will be remanded and investigated in accordance with Section 504 of the Penal Code, Section 233 (1) of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, and Section 4 (1)(g) of the Common Gambling House Act 1953.”
Zainal said police will not compromise on all parties involved in gambling activities and the making of the videos.
“We advise the public to not share the videos.
“In fact, such acts are not only illegal, but can also cause public concern.” – Bernama, April 20, 2021
