HULU SELANGOR — The Selangor Police have initiated an internal disciplinary probe into two of its personnel following allegations of misconduct during an investigation into an unlicensed money lending syndicate, commonly known as ‘Ah Long’.

Selangor police chief, Datuk Shazeli Kahar, said the action was taken after a preliminary investigation found elements of misconduct in how the two individuals dealt with a complainant during the case. 

“We have identified the incident and confirmed that it occurred within Selangor. The complainant’s report was filed under Section 5(2) of the Moneylenders Act, and the investigation into the main case is proceeding smoothly. 

“However, the initial investigation confirmed misconduct by the personnel involved. On my instruction, disciplinary proceedings have been initiated against them,” he said at a press conference here today.

He emphasised that the force will not compromise on any member who violates its integrity, and stern action will be taken if the offences are proven.

Previously, a complainant reported being offered RM500 by a police officer as a bribe to withdraw a report made against an Ah Long. The complainant also alleged being treated unfairly when filing the report.

In a separate matter regarding Ops Tapis, an anti-drug operation conducted this year across various hotspots in Selangor, including jetties, plantations, and Felda settlements, Shazeli reported that 748 individuals have been arrested and drugs worth over RM4.3 million have been seized.
