00:00The first thing I would like to share is a report and actions of the Johor Contingent Police Department
00:11along with all 13 districts in the state of Johor, the central villages, or the precincts of the precincts of Perjudian.
00:22For your information, ladies and gentlemen, from 17 April to 20 April,
00:30a joint operation has been carried out in the entire Johor Contingent
00:39and the target is the precincts of Perjudian, which has been identified for sure.
00:49As a result of our drastic action, the Johor Contingent Police,
00:54as many as 87 precincts have been searched,
01:02involving 87 arrests, that is 69 men and 18 women,
01:12involving the activities of Perjudian, including online gambling.
01:23All arrests have been detained for further investigation.
01:34And the sections or provisions used to investigate these cases are
01:45Section 4A, small bracket, Acta Rumah Judi Terbuka 1953.
01:54Section 4B, large bracket, Acta Rumah Judi Terbuka 1953.
02:02Section 4, bracket, 1C, Acta Rumah Judi Terbuka 1953.
02:09I repeat, these arrests also involve online gambling.
02:17In addition to that, the police will also take action,
02:26to request for a power cut to 73 precincts out of 87 that have been searched.
02:37The rest have been detained outside, in free places.
02:40So, in these precincts, we will make a request to the regional councils
02:47and TNB for a power cut,
02:52and also to the regional councils for a power cut to these precincts.
03:00I am giving a warning to the activists or operators of these precincts,
03:08to stop their activities immediately.
03:14If they are stubborn, they will face harsh and firm laws.
03:23As the Governor of Johor, I will not compromise
03:27in enforcing gambling activities in Johor.
03:39In addition to that, we will also make a request
03:47to SKMM, Jaya Komunikasi Multimedia,
03:54to stop the online gambling that has been known for a long time.
04:01To stop gambling activities.
04:07For the information of the media,
04:11from January 1, 2024 to April 20, 2024,
04:21as many as 811 cases of gambling
04:27targeting gambling elements have been successfully carried out,
04:32involving 1,143 people arrested
04:36and fined RM297,457.
04:48This does not include the equipment that has been confiscated,
04:53such as computer equipment, mobile phones,
04:57and various types of equipment that have been used to facilitate their activities.
05:04Although these syndicates have changed their MO,
05:13and are doing business,
05:16as people say, in a praiseworthy way,
05:19but the Police of Johor County
05:22have managed to detect the corruption and information
05:25from the police and from the public.
05:30And the success that I have reported
05:34shows that there is no compromise from the police.
