SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES Online Gambling in Malaysia: A Pertanika J. Soc. Sci. & Hum. 29 (1): 207 - 220 (2021) SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES Journal homepage: http://www.pertanika.upm.edu.my/ Online Gambling in Malaysia: A Legal Analysis Guru Dhillon, Lee Sook Ling, Maran Nandan, and Jason Tze-Xi Nathan* Faculty of Law, Multimedia University, 75450 Bukit Beruang, Melaka, Malaysia ABSTRACT Gambling is a serious issue that comes with wide-reaching social, political, and economic consequences if not tightly monitored by governmental authorities. The advent of technology has provided gambling operators a virtual platform that caters to gamblers over the internet. Malaysian legislation that deals with gambling was drafted before online gambling came about. Malaysia has yet to introduce any amendment to existing legislation to better equip it with sufficiently clear wording and provisions for the purpose of regulating online gambling. The aims of this article are to (1) examine the prevalence of online gambling in Malaysia today and (2) analyze the application of existing legislation to regulate online gambling. In this article, the above aims are analysed from a legal perspective based on a qualitative doctrinal research method involving journal articles, relevant news articles, and Malaysian legislation. The finding of this article establishes that unregulated online gambling is growing into a pressing issue in Malaysia and relevant local legislation needs to be updated to better deal with its challenges. This article is not meant to be an all-encompassing thesis but to serve as an introductory guide into this ARTICLE INFO niche area of the law.

Male Prisoners’ Viewpoints through a Feminist’s Review Nur Adiba Ab Mubin1* and Haslina Muhamad2 1Gender Studies, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur 50603, Malaysia 2Anthropology and Sociology Department, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur 50603, Malaysia ABSTRACT Rape cases have become more and more common nowadays. It is seen to be going rampant from day to day, with the number of victims increasing. A study to analyze the factors that lead to rape from adult rapists’ perspective was conducted at Pengkalan Chepa Male Prison (PCMP), Kelantan. Feminist views and laws concerning rape are adopted in the explanation and comparison of the factors. Questionnaires were distributed to 44 adult males who were convicted of committing rape under Section 376 of the Penal Code where the offenders are sentenced to jail. The study found that the main factors for the males to commit rape were their desire for sex and inability to resist lust (75%), the influence of pornography and porn videos (47.7%), the seductiveness of a woman (52.3%) and women’s attire (45%). The misconception of rape being assumed as sexual intercourse instead of a crime shows that the victims are often blamed for provoking rape. The implication of the study is discussed. Keywords: Factors encouraging rape, feminist, Pengkalan Chepa Male Prison, rape, rapist INTRODUCTION Rape is a very repulsive, incomprehensible and feared crime.

  • PDRM Komited Perangi Jenayah, Antara Ikrar Sempena Sambutan Hari Polis Ke-207 Bernama 25 Mac, 2014
    PDRM Komited Perangi Jenayah, Antara Ikrar Sempena Sambutan Hari Polis Ke-207 Bernama 25 Mac, 2014 KUALA LUMPUR, 25 Mac (Bernama) -- Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak meminta rakyat Malaysia menyokong polis dan memainkan peranan aktif mengurangkan kadar jenayah dan mengekalkan keamanan negara sempena sambutan Hari Polis ke-207. Beliau berkata setiap individu atau organsasi perlu memikul tanggungjawab bersama pasukan keselamatan untuk meningkatkan keberkesanan untuk memerangi jenayah. Katanya, masyarakat tidak perlu berkhidmat di dalam pasukan polis atau menawarkan diri menjadi sukarelawan polis untuk menyedari kepentingan membanteras jenayah secara holistik. Pada sambutan itu, Perdana Menteri memeriksa kawalan kehormatan dan menyaksikan perbarisan oleh kira-kira 2,000 pegawai dan anggota polis di Dataran Kawad Pusat Latihan Polis (Pulapol), di sini Selasa. Beliau turut menyampaikan Anugerah Kenaikan Pangkat Secara Medan kepada 23 pegawai dan anggota polis. Di KEDAH, Penolong Ketua Polis Kedah Datuk Zaleha Abdul Rahman berkata pada tahun ini pihaknya akan menjalankan program membanteras gejala rasuah bersempena 'Kempen Tolak Rasuah'. Di LANGKAWI, Ketua Polis Daerah Langkawi Supt Harrith Kam Abdullah menasihatkan penduduk supaya mematuhi undang-undang jalan raya, agar ia menjadi teladan yang baik kepada pelancong yang berkunjung ke pulau peranginan itu. Beliau berkata kadar kemalangan membabitkan pelancong asing sejak kebelakangan ini meningkat berikutan gagal mematuhi aspek-aspek keselamatan jalan raya terutama pemakaian topi keledar. Di JOHOR, Timbalan Ketua Polis Johor Datuk Ismail Yatim berkata pihaknya menyasarkan pengambilan 500 anggota polis dari kaum Cina sebagai usaha memantapkan penugasan dan mengimbangi komposisi kaum dalam pasukan berkenaan. Beliau berkata jumlah pegawai dan anggota polis kaum Cina di negeri ini amat kurang ketika ini iaitu hanya 63 pegawai dan 82 orang anggota daripada jumlah keseluruhan 9,000 pegawai dan anggota polis di seluruh Johor.
