Underworld may be backing triads
KUALA LUMPUR: Federal police have not ruled out the probability that Singaporean triads terrorising Johor are being backed by the local underworld.
As such, Johor police, with added muscle from their Singaporean counterparts, are set to wipe out the triads.
CID Director Comm Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee said that currently Johor police were gathering intelligence on the Singaporean triads to ascertain their local links and the extent of their network.
Among others, the Singaporean triads are believed to have committed murders, rapes, and gangsterism.
Comm Wan said the police were aware there were numerous Singaporean triad members in Johor and added that police had not ruled out the probability that Johor’s underworld could be offering support to the triads.
“They are now under our surveillance and we are just waiting for the right time to strike (at them),” he told a press conference.
On Tuesday, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said police had identified seven gang leaders who have been terrorising Johor with the help of influential people. – Bernama
