KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 ― The Home Ministry said today it intends to push for amendments on outdated legislations covering the offence of illegal online gambling to keep up with the times as these laws are not tailored to deal with gambling conducted in cyberspace.
“Now it is 2023, these Acts have never been amended. Who should be amending them? Parliament and politicians but these never took place. “In 1953, gambling was probably cockfightings but now it's online gambling, and we are still using the same Acts,” he told the Dewan Rakyat today. In a reply to a supplementary question posed by Sungai Buloh MP Datuk R. Ramanan, Saifuddin Nasution replied affirmatively there is political patronage and these illegal gambling operators are emboldened by the protection and influence provided by their political masters.
