PAS party backs probe into corporate mafia, tighter gambling controls
The Islamic party has approved motions calling for a royal commission of inquiry into organised corporate crime and enhanced state-level regulation of gambling activities.
LSN Malaysia ·
The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) has endorsed resolutions at its annual party congress supporting the establishment of a royal commission of inquiry to investigate corporate mafia activities and strengthened oversight of gambling operations across Malaysian states.
Delegates at the PAS Muktamar expressed concern that serious corporate crime issues risk being overlooked unless authorities take decisive action. The party deemed it imperative that such matters receive proper scrutiny through a formal inquiry mechanism.
The gambling regulation motion reflects PAS's ongoing push for stricter controls over gaming activities at the state level. The party has long advocated for enhanced oversight to address social and public health concerns associated with gambling.
The dual resolutions underscore PAS's priorities in governance, combining anti-corruption efforts with social policy objectives. Both motions now form part of the party's policy platform heading forward.
