Officers seized a mobile phone and RM400 in cash believed to be betting proceeds, and an examination of the phone revealed an online gambling application accessed through a portal. Preliminary investigations found the three suspects, including a local man, aged between 26 and 29, admitted to working as counter attendants and handling top-ups for the operation. After the initial 24-hour investigation, the local suspect was released on police bail, while the two Indonesian women were remanded for 14 days to assist investigations into immigration offences after failing to produce valid identification documents. The case is being investigated under Section 4B(a) of the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953, while the two women are also being investigated under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63. ACP Tan said police would intensify enforcement operations to curb online gambling and urged anyone with information to contact the Kulai district police headquarters hotline at 07-663 2222.
