KUALA LUMPUR: Police will be monitoring the movement of the Thaipusam chariot to Batu Caves and back to ensure compliance to the standard operating procedure (SOP), says Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.
The Inspector-General of Police said police were aware of the government’s decision to allow the chariot to journey from the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple on Jalan Tun H. S. Lee to the Sri Subramaniaswamy Temple at Batu Caves. The journey does not include a public procession or observers along the designated route. The chariot will be allowed to move to Batu Caves on Jan 27 between 3am and 6am and will return to Kuala Lumpur on Jan 29, he said in a statement on Tuesday (Jan 26).
KUALA LUMPUR: No green light has been given to illegal gambling syndicates to operate nationwide, says Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.
The Inspector-General of Police said he was aware of false statements from the syndicates claiming that Bukit Aman has purportedly given them the go-ahead to operate. The lie which has been spread since late last year was meant to thwart raids and operations against the syndicates. The baseless allegation also stated that all gambling premises can resume operations by mid-January or by Chinese New Year, he said.
When contacted on Saturday (Jan 23), Abdul Hamid added that the claim that Bukit Aman has given the syndicates the green light to be active is a malicious lie .
