PETALING JAYA: To date, thousands of suspected gangsters from underworld organisations in the country have been arrested, but surprisingly, none of them were from the Tiga Line group.
This latest information was revealed by Bukit Aman’s secret societies, gambling and anti vice principle assistant director, SAC Abdul Jalil Hassan today.
Jalil told FMT over the phone that they have yet to arrest any Tiga Line member, but was quick to add that the police have arrested a number of Malay gangsters from other triad groups.
Tiga Line, closely linked to a Malay NGO known as Pekida, is believed to be a well known group of Malay gangsters.
“Thus far none of them have been arrested but we have detained a number of Malay thugs from different underworld group,” said Jalil.
When asked if the police are having difficulties in arresting Tiga Line members, Jalil denied it and said that they have identified a number of faces but have yet to detain anyone.
“We know who they are and we have identified them, however, we have not made any arrests yet,” he added.
‘Benevolent’ gangsters
On Saturday, Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said at a closed door forum that Tiga Line members were ‘benevolent’ gangsters and encouraged them continue with their activities.
In August, the Home Ministry itself revealed that Tiga Line was one of the 49 groups considered illegal under the secret societies act.
Meanwhile, various individuals and NGO groups have slammed Zahid for his remarks, the latest being A New York-based human rights group Human Rights Watch.
Its deputy Asia director, Phil Robertson, said Zahid’s statement showed “gross indifference for the right to life and the rights of the country’s minority populations”.
“Home Minister Zahid is Malaysia’s top law enforcement official, yet he is promoting the illegal use of lethal force,” said Robertson.
“Prime Minister Najib should make it clear he won’t tolerate such statements or unlawful practices, which show a callous disregard for basic rights.”
