CID Nets Three Major Victories Against Trafficking, Cybercrime And Gambling
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said one of the major successes was the execution of Operasi Pintas Mega, led by the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants (ATIPSOM) division in collaboration with police contingents nationwide in February.
He said the operation also involved strategic cooperation with other agencies including the Immigration Department, Labour Department and Local Authorities (PBT).
'During the operation, a total of 45 raids were conducted, resulting in the arrest of 249 individuals and the rescue of 144 victims from human trafficking networks under Section 44 of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 (Act 670).
'This achievement demonstrates the Royal Malaysia Police's (PDRM) dedication and capability in combating human trafficking and migrant smuggling professionally and comprehensively,' he said during the Bukit Aman Monthly Assembly today.
Razarudin also highlighted international achievements through participation in Operation Cyber Guardian, organised by the Singapore Police Force, which included five countries: Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and Malaysia.
'The operation, conducted from Feb 28 to March 28 this year, focused on eradicating online sexual abuse of children,' he said.
'A total of 46 police officers were deployed with support from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the K9 Detection Unit to detect electronic devices used to store and distribute prohibited materials via peer-to-peer platforms and the Telegram app,' he said.
Four individuals, namely an accountant, a web designer, a telecommunications industry worker and a civil servant, were arrested with more than 50,000 pieces of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) seized, Razarudin added.

PKR veep condemns assault on Rafizi's son, calls for thorough probe
Roland Engan MIRI (Aug 14): PKR vice-president Roland Engan has strongly condemned the attack on the 12-year-old son of Pandan MP Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli, calling it an 'act of desperation of a coward'. In a statement today, Roland described the incident as a form of 'dirty or violent tactics' aimed at suppressing freedom of expression and speech. 'What happened to Rafizi's family could happen to anyone in the political fraternity or in other sectors in future,' he said. He emphasised that politics in a democratic nation like Malaysia should remain a non-violent struggle. The PKR leader stressed that differences in political philosophies should be welcomed and celebrated by all civilised citizens, rather than met with violence or intimidation. Calling for swift action from authorities, Roland said the demand for justice was not based on political privilege but on the fundamental rights of all Malaysians. 'Therefore, a prompt and thorough investigation should be initiated, not because Rafizi's family is more important or more valuable than other families, but because all Malaysians deserve to live safely in in this country,' he said. Police confirmed that Rafizi's son was assaulted at a shopping mall in Putrajaya yesterday afternoon. Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the incident was believed to have occurred at 2pm at the mall's pick-up and drop-off area. 'The incident occurred when the victim was reportedly with his mother and their driver,' he told Bernama. Investigations are ongoing. attack lead rafizi ramli Roland Engan son
