Police to track down 'Ah Long' by contact numbers in ads
December 24, 2013

IPOH: Perak police are tracking down members of unlicensed moneylending syndicate, or known as ‘Ah Long’, through the contact numbers printed in their advertisements.

Perak Commercial Crimes Investigation Department chief Supt Maszely Minhad said all contact numbers printed in the advertisements, including flyers, posters, banners and business cards, would be screened to identify the mastermind of the syndicate.

“Then, we will make some arrests, and if we have strong and sufficient evidence, we will take them to court. This is the first time we carry out the crime prevention operation to combat Along, dubbed ‘Ops Voucer’, with cooperation from the local authorities,” he told reporters here yesterday.

He said the biggest restraint for the police to take the syndicate members to court was the lack of cooperation from the public, especially from those who had fallen victims to the syndicate.

“When the victims are being disturbed or threatened by the syndicate, they will seek help from the police and lodge a report, but when we are half way through the investigation, they somehow refused to give their cooperation,” he said.

Maszely said the operation to combat the unlicensed moneylending syndicate was launched in September and actions, including arrests, had been taken on 88 cases in Perak so far.

In yesterday’s operation, 1,500 advertisements put up by the syndicate around Ipoh, Batu Gajah, Hilir Perak and Manjung, were taken down.

He said this was aimed at crippling the syndicate’s marketing strategy because without the advertisements, it would be difficult for the syndicate to get customers. — Bernama

Our Home Team officer from lower rank and file to highly paid scholar commissioner/Senior Inspector are aiming for BIG FISH. They are not interested in IKAN BILIS. They are more interested in catching the big fish. The waiting games goes on forever. Apparently the big fish is beyond them and also with international effort can't nett them the big fish.

So much so that they neglect to sharpen their skill in their detective skills and sense on the street. Yes, Intelligence is important. But you don't neglect your detective skills on the ground.

Big fish or small fish, the fact remains that moneylending shops have sprouted up all over the country, and that indicates they don't really give a shit about solving the problem.

What's wrong about moneylenders, it is the bank you should worry about. Without moneylenders, most who cannot obtain bank loans will go to loan shark, tiok boh.

licensed and unlicensed money lenders are all belong to the same syndicate. the only difference is licensed ones pay licensee fees and ta to govt.

once the licensed ones got your contact, they will pass to the unlicensed ones too, and you will receive many sms and calls for their promotion and harassments....

worst, the licensed ones are higher interest than the unlicensed ones
