Judiciary Police (PJ) Director Chao Wai Kuong said yesterday that gaming-related crimes increased by 33 percent in the first five months year-on-year.

Chao said that despite the gaming revenue slump, there hadn’t been an increase in public security issues. However, there was a 33 percent increase in the number of reported gaming-related cases in the first five months of the year, from 571 cases in the same period last year to 660 cases.
