Jungle jackpot busted: Hundreds nabbed in Sungai Buloh gambling raid
The operation, part of Op Dadu Mega, was carried out by a team from Bukit Aman's Anti-Vice, Gambling, and Secret Societies Division (D7) on Sunday.
The raid followed surveillance that began in October last year, focusing on illegal gambling activities, specifically cockfighting, dice games, and unlicensed public lotteries, which had been believed to be ongoing for the past eight months.
Bukit Aman CID deputy director (Intelligence/Operations) Datuk Fadil Marsus said that prior to the operation, the raiding team conducted aerial surveillance with the assistance of the Police Air Wing's Drone Unit to monitor gambling activities.
This led to the ambush of the forested area, which had been transformed into a makeshift gambling arena.

SEREMBAN: The Negri Sembilan Education Department recorded 168 disciplinary cases involving teachers in the state from 2021 until this year. State Education and Human Capital Committee chairman Datuk Ismail Lasim said Seremban recorded the highest number of cases, with 89, followed by Jempol/Jelebu (36), Tampin (13), Port Dickson and Kuala Pilah, with 11 cases each, and Rembau (eight). "Among the offences were absenteeism, document falsification, financial misconduct, public statements, disciplinary issues, disobedience, criminal acts, political involvement, injuring pupils and sexual harassment. "Follow-up action taken against the teachers involved is in accordance with disciplinary procedures under the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993 (P.U.(A)395/1993)," he said during the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly sitting here yesterday. He was responding to a question from Chew Seh Yong (PH–Lobak), who had requested the list of disciplinary issues involving teachers throughout Negri Sembilan from 2021 to the present. Ismail, who is also the assemblyman for Senaling, said disciplinary action is taken based on the type of offence. For serious misconduct, dismissal can be enforced against the teacher involved. In a separate development, the Negri Sembilan State Assembly today picked Lenggeng assemblyman Datuk Mohd Asna Amin as Deputy Speaker of the assembly after his name was the only name submitted for nomination, which was proposed by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun. Mohd Asna, 46, is Negri Sembilan Umno Economic Bureau chairman and Seremban Umno vice chief.

KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 288 raids were carried out by the General Operations Force (GOF) Central Brigade between Jan 1 and Aug 4, 2025, resulting in the arrest of 1,005 individuals and about RM1.1bil in items seized. GOF Central Brigade commander Senior Asst Comm Hakemal Hawari said the operations spanned several states under the Central Brigade's jurisdiction including Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, Negri Sembilan, Melaka, and Johor. "Among the items seized were various types of contraband and illegal goods. "It shows our unwavering commitment to curbing criminal activities that threaten national security and public wellbeing," he said in a statement. He said the achievement reflects ongoing efforts by enforcement agencies to combat crime and protect the nation's borders. "We also urge the public to play a proactive role by sharing information and acting as the 'eyes and ears' of security forces to ensure the country's borders remain secure from illegal intrusions and illicit activities," he added. On a related matter, SAC Hakemal said the Central Brigade has also intensified its strategic operations to combat smuggling-related crimes along Malaysia's western maritime borders, particularly in the coastal areas of Selangor and western Johor. "Our ongoing operations are focused on deterring cross-border criminal activities, especially human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants under the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act (ATIPSOM). "Between Jan 1 and Aug 4, we conducted 10 operations in various parts of Selangor. "It led to the arrest of 15 'tekong darat' (land-based human trafficking coordinators), comprising eight Malaysians and seven Indonesians — as well as the detention of 224 undocumented migrants," he said. Further enforcement actions during two separate raids on June 21 and July 22 also led to significant drug seizures, he added. "We seized 10.35kg of syabu, 3.6kg of ecstasy pills, and several vehicles believed to be linked to trafficking activities," SAC Hakemal said, adding that the GOF will work closely with other enforcement agencies to tighten border security.
