Ada orang berpengaruh lindungi aktiviti haram di Pulau Pinang

Laporan dalam akhbar The Star hari ini sungguh membimbangkan:

GEORGE TOWN: Several influential and powerful figures are behind illicit activities that include operating gambling dens in Penang, said state police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakob.He said these people with “high social status” were also believed to be involved in other illegal activities such as vice, running unlicensed entertainment outlets and selling pirated optical discs.

DCP Ayub said police did not have the evidence to nail them yet.

“The frontliners like the caretakers and sellers are always the ones nabbed.

“But we know the real culprits. Some are holding high positions in society,” he said.

Ketua Polis Pulau Pinang mengesyaki yang aktiviti haram di negeri itu termasuklah pusat-pusat perjudian haram dilindungi oleh beberapa tokoh berpengaruh. Siapakah mereka ini? Kalau orang istana, Pulau Pinang tiada institusi Raja. Kalau orang politik sudah pasti bukan dari Pakatan Rakyat kerana pimpinan PR tiada keisitmewaan kerana tiada kuasa peringkat Persekutuan.

Pihak polis mesti mendedahkan gerombolan ini dan seret mereka ke muka pengadilan. Kalau orang berpengaruh dan berkuasa melindungi aktiviti haram dan salah disisi undang-undang apa nak jadi pada Negara kita dan rakyatnya?
