Female Crime Gangs In State Unlikely, Says Abdul Karim
KUCHING: Women in the state are not likely to start their own organised crime syndicates but the authorities must not be complacent.
In giving the view, Assistant Minister of Youth Development Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah however conceded that “petty girls bully groups” definitely occurred in some schools.
To address the problem of bullying, he urged parents and Parents and Teachers Associations to be vigilant.
“Organised gansterism is unlikely among female students in the state, but petty bully groups definitely is there in some schools so parents and PTAs and school administrators should be more vigilant on what goes on in schools,” he said in his WhatsApp message yesterday.

Fatimah: Keep a good eye on female student gangsters
by Gerly Ogilvy Ruekeith, reporters@theborneopost.com. Posted on May 5, 2015, Tuesday
KUCHING: The involvement of female students in gangsterism or becoming gang members is a serious matter that must be nipped in the bud.
Minister of Welfare, Women and Family Development Datuk Fatimah Abdullah said all relevant authorities must address this issue now even though she believed the situation in the state was not serious at the moment.
She suggested compiling statistics of women involved in criminal activities, including female students who have disciplinary problems in schools.
“My ministry is working closely with the police to monitor female gangsterism and schoolgirls with disciplinary issues.”
She said this to The Borneo Post yesterday when asked to comment on recent media reports that quoted United Malaysia Crime Prevention Organisation (UMCPO) as stating there are 1,300 female triad leaders in the country.
The organisation, which works closely with the Home Ministry, revealed that at least 12 per cent of the current membership bases of notorious gangs are females.
…
Fatimah said her ministry handled underage individuals with disciplinary problems, where those under the age of 18 years were placed at Taman Seri Puteri correctional facilities.
“I believe the percentage (of those involved) is low, but we must not be complacent. We must nip the problem in the bud.
“Preventive programmes are important. We need to inculcate moral values among our children when they are still young. As they grow older, we need to monitor their activities, know who their friends are, and the people they mix around with.”

MALACCA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) – It’s the sort of girl power that Malaysia can do without. There are 1,300 female triad leaders in the country, says a crime prevention body.
Apparently, these leaders are recruiting more schoolgirls to join their female gangs.
United Malaysia Crime Prevention Organisation (UMCPO), which works closely with the Home Ministry, revealed that at least 12 per cent of the current membership base of the notorious gangs were females.
UMCPO’s national chairman Datuk A. Balakrishnan said gangs like 36, 21, 24, 555, 303, 04, 08 and Satu Hati all have female wings with their own set of leaders providing “protection” to schoolgirls who are forced to pay for that protection.
Acting Penang CID chief, Asst Comm P.R. Gunarajan, confirmed that female triad leaders were penetrating schools in the state to recruit members.
“They are part of the bigger gangs and act as wing leaders. They want to be recognised as “tai kah cheh and akka” (big sisters) and my men are monitoring their activities. Officers here have been in touch with schools to prevent the recruitment of female students into gangs,” he said.
Balakrishnan said police had also informed them about the number of schoolgirls and women who were part of these gangs.
“These girls also engage in fights and intimidate others into paying gang fees,” he said.
…
Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation Vice-Chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said he had warned of violent schoolgirls four years ago.
He said the recent incidents of bullying and violent behaviour involving students of both genders should be viewed very seriously.

Female gangsters flex their muscles
UMCPO’s national chairman Datuk A. Balakrishnan said gangs like 36, 21, 24, 555, 303, 04, 08 and Satu Hati all have female wings with their own set of leaders providing “protection” to schoolgirls who are forced to pay for that protection.
…
Balakrishnan said the increase in reports of female bullying also suggested that females could be as violent as male gangsters. He said UMCPO’s data showed there were about 1,300 active female gang leaders.
Malacca’s Private Sector, Human Resource and NGOs Committee chairman Datuk M.S. Mahadevan said the state was seeking the help of women based non-governmental organisations to address violence among schoolgirls.
He said gangs like 36, 04 and the new Johor Baru based Sorna Sisters gang were now recruiting members in the state.
Sorna Sisters is named after a violent female Tamil movie character.
Mahadevan said he had also seen videos of female gangs in action with some of the footages taken in Malacca.
