'No moles, just morons in police force'

A DAP lawmaker today launched a sarcastic jibe against the police for the way they carried out "Operasi Dadu" to weed out illegal gambling dens.
The operation ended with a measly two percent success rate.
Responding to media reports that the police are now targeting "moles" within the force due to the poor success rate, Lim Lip Eng said there are "morons" within the force for assuming that these den operators are "illiterate".
The Segambut MP was referring to the fact that the police had announced publicly, a week earlier, their intention to crack down on gambling dens.
"Do they think illegal gambling operators are illiterate? That they don't read the news? They don't go online?
"And they wonder why the gambling shops are closed when they conduct a raid," Lim told a press conference at the Parliament lobby.
"This is like telling the Mat Rempit (illegal racers) that we are going to have a road block at Dataran Merdeka on this day, and inviting them to come there," he added.
Ipoh Timur MP Thomas Su said that the "moles", if any, should be the Malaysian public, because the police had made the information about their raid public and thus the den operators were bound to know one way or another.
"The mole must be the entire public," said Su, who accompanied Lim.
English daily The Star front paged a report today saying that the operation only had a two percent success rate as most gambling dens were closed when the police conducted raids.

MP Segambut, Lim Lip Eng menggesa kerajaan persekutuan mengikut jejak langkah Pulau Pinang dengan melarang golongan pendatang bekerja di gerai penjaja.
Katanya, langkah yang dilaksanakan kerajaan DAP Pulau Pinang itu kini mendapat sambutan positif dari pelbagai pihak.
Beliau menggesa agar Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor dan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Mah Siew Keong mengkaji perkara itu.
Kerajaan Pulau Pinang melaksanakan langkah tersebut selepas melakukan soal selidik terhadap 14,810 responden dari 25 Julai sehingga 31 Ogos.
Menurut DAP, 86 peratus daripada mereka yang ditinjau bersetuju dengan langkah itu.

Bawa Zhang Jian balik ke Malaysia dan dakwa

Saya mahu pembantu, rakan kongsi dan siapa pun yang terlibat dengan Zhang Jian di Malaysia ditahan dan ditangkap.

KUALA LUMPUR: Ahli Parlimen Segambut, Lim Lip Eng menggesa supaya pihak kerajaan mendapatkan bantuan Interpol bagi membawa Zhang Jian dan kumpulannya ke Malaysia untuk didakwa atas kesalahan menjalankan perniagaan Skim Cepat Kaya YSLM.

Menurutnya, Zhang Jian dan kumpulannya pernah berada di Malaysia selama dua tahun yang lalu sebelum beliau ditangkap di Thailand.

“Persoalannya di sini, mengapa tiada siapa yang ditahan sehingga mereka ke Thailand dan apabila berada di sana, tidak sampai dua bulan mereka sudah ditangkap.

“Ramai sudah maklum yang perniagaan ini adalah skim piramid, skim cepat kaya dan perniagaan haram,” katanya dalam satu sidang media di Parlimen hari ini.

Lip Eng sebelum ini pernah menanyakan soalan di Parlimen mengapa wakil dan agen YSLM yang berada di Malaysia tidak ditangkap dan harta mereka tidak disita untuk membantu siasatan dan meminta Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan Datuk Seri Hasan Malek untuk menjawab.

Namun beliau menjawab Skim Cepat Kaya YSLM yang diasaskan oleh Zhang Jian ini adalah sah disisi undang-undang.

“Skim atau pelan pemasaran yang ditawarkan oleh YSLM di bawah syarikat CDTUP International Sdn.Bhd mempunyai unsur-unsur Skim Cepat Kaya atau Skim Piramid yang menawarkan pulangan pelaburan yang tinggi dalam masa yang singkat dan bergantung kepada kemasukan peserta-peserta baru ke dalam skim berkenan,” katanya dalam jawapan bertulis.

Tambah Lip Eng, perkara ini juga telah beliau dedahkan di dalam akhbar dan parlimen.

“Sekarang mereka dah ditahan di Thailand, dan saya nak kerajaan dari mana-mana kementerian pun yang terlibat untuk mendapatkan bantuan Interpol bagi membawa Zhang Jian dan kumpulannya ke Malaysia untuk didakwa

“Jadi saya mahu pembantu, rakan kongsi dan siapa pun yang terlibat dengan Zhang Jian di Malaysia, yang mana mereka itu rakyat Malaysia, saya mahu mereka ditahan dan ditangkap,” tegasnya.

Katanya, beliau tidak tahu kenapa kerajaan ambil mudah perkara ini sedangkan satu dunia memerhatikan mereka,

“Komen saya ialah ramai sudah tahu berkenaan perkara ini Zhang Jian dan dua lagi yang telah ditahan oleh pihak berkuasa Thailand atas kesalahan yang sama berkenaan skim cepat kaya di Thailand di Chiang Mai, Bangkok dan Phuket.

“Kenapa tidak tahan Zhang Jian walaupun sudah banyak laporan polis sudah dibuat,” ujarnya.

Motorists fume at selfish lot

KUALA LUMPUR: MOTORISTS are irked to see parking bays permanently occupied by abandoned vehicles in Medan Putra Business Centre, Bandar Menjalara, a busy commercial area where parking space is at a premium.

Almost 20 vehicles are parked in the public parking bays and in the back lanes, depriving motorists of precious parking space and City Hall of revenue from parking meter fees.

Many of these vehicles have been stripped of their engines, windows and doors. Some have been left there for years.

Restaurant manager Jimmy Ong, 34, said the abandoned vehicles were an eyesore as well as an inconvenience.

“City Hall should be proactive and act fast when it comes to matters like this. It is obvious that these cars have been left here for many years, which is frustrating because these spots can be freed up for motorists here,” he said.

Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng, who visited the area on Saturday, said the owners did not want to take responsibility for the vehicles, yet did not want them to be towed away.

“When City Hall officers came and wanted to tow the vehicles away, some car workshop operators here said the vehicles belonged to their customers,” he said.

Lim said he had recently brought up the matter to Mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib, who had promised to get the council’s enforcement team to remove the abandoned vehicles.

“But nothing has happened so far. Phesal told me the towing of the vehicles could be carried out immediately as he was doing away with the old process of removing vehicles of this sort,” he said.

The process required City Hall to place a notice on the vehicle with instructions for the owner to remove it.

The owner is notified three times and given a grace period of over two weeks to comply, Lim said.

“However, when I spoke to Phesal recently, he said this process would be done away.

“According to him, there will be no questions asked or notices given. I brought up the matter again yesterday (Friday) but the vehicles are still here today,” he said.

Meanwhile, the new one-way traffic flow in the commercial centre becomes effective today. Directional signs have been repainted to reflect the change.

“This is done after a six-month study by City Hall. I hope motorists here will be patient during the transitional process.

“The one-way system is to combat the traffic congestion here and is for the improvement of the commercial centre,” said Lim.
