ban all forms of gambling in the country, after the government cancelled plans to legalise sports betting.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of activist mostly Malay Muslim supporters launched the movement with a demonstration at the capital&#8217;s national mosque on Saturday, chanting &#8220;We hate gambling&#8221; and &#8220;Gambling is for the weak.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The campaign follows Prime Minister Najib Razak&#8217;s announcement last week that his government had dropped a proposal to allow sports betting amid protests by groups who fear it would create more social ills.<\/p>\n<p>Malaysia bans its majority Muslims from gambling but allows betting at a casino in Genting Highlands, on horse-racing and the national lottery.<\/p>\n<p>PAS youth chief Nasrudin Hassan Tantawi, a member of the coalition against gambling, said the new campaign was aimed at getting all Malaysians to give up gambling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to eliminate gambling on ships at sea, from the kampungs and all the way to the peak of Genting Highlands,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It cannot be done immediately but on a phase by phase basis so that its acceptable to all religions and gambling can be totally eliminated,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Uproar over sports betting erupted after Ascot Sports, a company controlled by influential tycoon Vincent Tan, said in May it had been granted a licence to offer odds for the hugely popular English Premier League football season.<\/p>\n<p>Berjaya, the property-to-gaming group which has a 70 percent state in Ascot Sports, has said the illegal sports betting market in Malaysia is worth as much as 20 billion ringgit (six billion US dollars) a year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KUALA LUMPUR \u2013 Activists in Malaysia on Saturday
