Malaysia
Malaysia The Home Ministry in Malaysia believes that online gambling has become a problem, and they are leading the fight against the form of entertainment. Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein is taking his battle against online casinos worldwide.

"This operation will be led by me personally because this involves many agencies such as the police, Bank Negara, and embassies of other countries," said Hishammudindin at a press conference in Parliament, "We are looking at tackling crime overall, and an operation like this can at once cover four or five issues."

Some of the things that he is attempting to curb are illegal money laundering and organized crime. They are both areas of crime that have been linked with unregulated online gambling.

"Like many world leaders, including the US, countries believe that making online gambling illegal is a step towards less crime," said observer Larry Trells, "but in reality, it is the countries where online casinos are legal and regulated where crime is at its lowest percentage."

The police in Malaysia have already been hard at work cracking down on illegal gambling. Over 2,900 raids have been made between January and May, and those raids netted over 2,600 arrests.

Hishammuddin believes he needs the help of many leaders around the world to tackle the online gambling problem, but he may have a hard time finding allies. Many countries have been moving towards legalizing online casinos rather than outlawing them.
