KUALA LUMPUR: The Prime Minister’s instruction for outdated laws to be reviewed is timely, given the current crime trends in the era of digital technology, says Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani .
“However, nowadays, gambling is conducted online and it’s hard for the police to produce solid evidence and take action against those responsible for the offence,” said the top cop. On Friday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had said that the legal affairs division in the Prime Minister’s Department would be reviewing existing laws, including 147 outdated ones.
“The Common Gaming Houses Act, for example, only covers the enforcement of gambling activities in physical premises and not online,” he said during University Malaya’s Faculty of Law golden jubilee celebration. “For example, a RM100 fine for minor offences would have been a lot in the past but , it is nothing more than a slap on the wrist and the probability of repeat offenders is high,” he said.
