• No more vape outlets in Johor by Chuah Bee Kim - 4 JANUARY
2016
• JOHOR BARU: All 120 vape outlets in Johor have ceased operations after various
government agencies led by Johor police carried out massive raids since the beginning
of the year. A ban on the sale of the items was called for by the Sultan of Johor Sultan
Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, effective Jan 1. Johor police chief Wan Ahmad Najmuddin
Mohd told reporters at the state police headquarters today that the raids were carried
out with seizures made under the Poisons Act 1952, which is a Federal law. "We are
going after the suppliers and wholesalers, not vape users. Even online sale of vape is
prohibited. "With the onslaught of fraudulent online purchases, online businesses now
need to be registered so we can track the perpetrators," he said. He said the latest raid
was conducted on six vape outlets. He said online ‘love scams’ and online fraudulent
purchases totalled 349 cases last year, incurring losses of up to RM4.3 million. On a
separate matter, Wan Ahmad Najmuddin said police will be making home visits under
Op Warta to motorists who do not settle their fines for illegal parking. "We have to
enforce action against those who park haphazardly and illegally as these motorists are
causing traffic congestion in the city. "If motorists abide by the rules while driving in
Singapore, why can't they be law-abiding here as well?" A total of 7,526 fines were
issued from January to December last year. Wan Ahmad Najmuddin said some
motorists have not settled up to 15 fines.
