Why no action against outlet?
I JUST can’t believe your recent report with the heading “61 GROs held in 11th raid at outlet” and this in spite of my highlighting this case on Oct 19. Why is the outlet still operating?
Are the fines and other penalties so trivial that the business owners gladly pay them and then continue with their monkey business?
Don’t the authorities have the power to close down the business and prohibit it from doing the same again?
The fact that the owners (obviously the police and the local authorities know who they are) are engaging in illegal gaming and employing illegal foreign workers calls for a stiffer punishment or even a jail sentence.
Shouldn’t the owner of the outlet be charged with human trafficking even though he may not be directly involved in the enslavement of women?
He is, after all, working them under slave-like conditions.
Why can’t the police use laws to put this obdurate and obnoxious businessman under “restricted” residence in Kelantan for example?
Has the owner been operating with a local authority licence?
The continuing episodes of closing down the outlet and arresting the poor women is apparently not the way to stop this illegal and immoral activity. As the saying goes, to stop the pain of a troublesome tooth, you have to go to the roots.
And we are all talking about 1Malaysia and performance first?
TAM YENG SIANG,
Petaling Jaya.
