He did not provide details, but said they included online cheating cases.

“There are many JSJK cases that are not resolved because the investigating officers concerned did not do their job well, and there are also cases which were not investigated.

“There are also cases where arrest warrants had been issued on the matter, and also on police reports lodged in 2013 with no action taken,” he told Bernama at Bukit Aman here today.

Abdul Hamid said the frozen” cases had to be re-opened to give justice to the victims.

“We will find the investigating officer in-charge, warn the person concerned to get the investigation completed in a month.

“I’m not giving it any chance and I forbid any gambling towkay to meet or be nice to me," he added.

He also said “partying”, like holding birthday celebrations in the office, would no longer be allowed for the police.
