The Malaysian Insight

THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission today released photographs and details of 12 men they believe can help in an investigation into a protection racket in Malacca that resulted in the arrest of 13 policemen in May.

The crackdown on the Malacca protection racket saw high-ranking cops, including the Melaka Tengah and Jasin police chiefs, being arrested over their alleged involvement in the racket, which protected illegal gambling dens and massage parlours from law enforcement in the state.

Sources told The Malaysian Insight that the racket was believed to have collected between RM2,000 and RM10,000 at each illegal outlet under its protection.

MACC has seized more than RM1 million from a house and bank accounts belonging to the suspects.

A few weeks later, a major reshuffle took place in Malacca police involving officers at the district and contingent level. 

MACC chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad in June said several key witness into the case had gone missing. 

“Investigations are still going on but there are a few witnesses that could not be located because they have fled the country,” he said.

MACC’s announcement today came a day after DAP legal bureau chairman Gobind Singh Deo questioned the status of the MACC investigation into the case.

He said Home Minister Zahid Hamidi should provide updates on the investigation.

“He needs to answer whether the investigation is ongoing and, secondly, why there is no action taken or announcement made in the case,” he told reporters in Parliament yesterday.

Those with information on the 12 men are urged to contact MACC investigating officer Saiful Amir Hamzah at 03-88867592 or 014-2244003.
