LANGKAWI: Control over the sale of ammunition in licensed premises will be strengthened, especially in Sabah and Sarawak, said Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.
He said the move was deemed necessary following reports alleging that certain vendors had been selling ammunition to illegal firearm owners in the states.
“They made me understand that many homemade or illegal firearms were being smuggled into Sabah and Sarawak and that they were using bullets (purchased) from licensed premises.
“The police will strengthen control in such facilities so that owners of illegal firearms do not have the opportunity to use the weapons,” he said at a press conference after attending the meeting on Integrated Treasury Operations (OBK) here. today.
On the meeting, Abdul Hamid said that the Royal Malaysian Police represented by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) and the Special Branch will work closely with other agencies involved in the OBK to review all actions taken against those who committed crimes related to the national treasury.
“We are serious about this issue because there are allegations that we are not taking enough action to completely paralyze the entire union, rather than arrest the little ones.
“We want to make sure that not only the perpetrators are imprisoned, but that they also file for bankruptcy for living with the proceeds of illegal activities,” said Abdul Hamid.
The OBK was implemented in several phases starting in September last year, involving various agencies, including the police, the Peninsular Malaysia Department of Customs, Immigration and Forestry.
It aimed to combat land invasion problems, illegal logging, theft of national forest products, wildlife poaching and other crimes under the 2010 Wildlife Conservation Act. -Called
