No More Online Gambling
 
July 8, 2009

The online gambling world has realized lately that they have a real foe in the country of Malaysia. The country has decided that they are not going to allow online gambling to continue in any form in their country, and they have been cracking down on the dens that they have found throughout their country.
 
The country knows that there are online gambling cafés that allow people to come in and purchase time to spend at the online casinos, and they use their computers to do it. This way those that don’t have a computer or an internet hookup can simply go to one of these places and play online gambling as much as they want.
 
However, the government has decided that they are going to eliminate it and are doing a pretty good job so far. This year alone they have arrested more than two thousand people and closed down more than three thousand internet online gambling places. They are working with Interpol and with various other government agencies to wipe out illegal online gambling.
 
They say that they will not stop until they have eliminated all online gambling from the country. Their Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein is not taking any chances and is working closely with the groups to remove it. They say that they have to protect their residents from the evils associated with online gambling. He is planning on running the operations personally to ensure success. They say that the numbers above are representative of what they have accomplished between January and May – and they expect their end of year numbers to be even higher.
