CID Nets Three Major Victories Against Trafficking, Cybercrime And Gambling
KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 (Bernama) -- The Criminal Investigation Department (JSJ) at Bukit Aman continues to enhance its efforts in tackling various forms of crime through several large-scale operations carried out in the early part of this year. 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.

249 suspects arrested, 144 rescued in Op Pintas Mega
KUALA LUMPUR: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has been praised for a string of successful nationwide and international operations that tackled human trafficking, cybercrime, and illegal gambling. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, speaking at the police monthly assembly, expressed appreciation for the department's achievements, saying they reflect their capability and unwavering dedication to law enforcement. Among the highlights was Op Pintas Mega, a coordinated anti-trafficking effort led by CID's Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Division (ATIPSOM), carried out in February. The operation involved police contingents from across the country, along with strategic partners including the Immigration Department, the Department of Labour, and local authorities. Authorities conducted 45 raids under the operation, arresting 249 suspects and rescuing 144 victims believed to be trapped in human exploitation networks. The arrests were made under Section 44 of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 (Act 670). "This clearly demonstrates our commitment and capability in addressing such crimes thoroughly and professionally," said Razarudin. CID also played a key role in Operation Cyber Guardian, an international initiative led by the Singapore Police Force and involving six nations—Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. Running from Feb 28 to March 28, the operation targeted online child sexual exploitation. With support from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and CID's K9 Unit, 46 officers were deployed to trace electronic devices used for distributing prohibited materials via peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms and Telegram. The operation led to the arrest of four individuals—including an accountant, a web designer, a telecommunications worker, and a civil servant—and the seizure of over 50,000 child sexual abuse materials (CSAM). The suspects are being investigated under the Child Act 2001, the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, and the Penal Code. "These arrests underscore the growing threat of cyber sexual crimes, particularly against vulnerable groups," Razarudin said. "I'm proud of CID's firmness and integrity in combating these horrific offences." Additionally, the CID tackled illegal gambling through Op Dadu Khas. The department carried out 6,719 raids nationwide, resulting in 8,603 arrests. Police also confiscated 3,464 electronic devices and over RM1.6 million in cash. "This operation reflects police's zero tolerance toward all forms of illegal activity that threaten public order," Razarudin said.
