During two raids on Bola Golek games, known as the ''poor man's roulette,'' the Malaysian police ended up arresting a 16-year-old school dropout, among eight other suspects. The suspects had allegedly been operating their roulette-like games for nearly two weeks, and made approximately RM500 a night. Chief Inspector Mohamad Razali Taib found and confiscated the roulette accessories, along with about RM200 in cash.
It is assumed that altogether, the nine suspects raked about RM15K-17K a day, playing Bola Golek. This game, which originates from Indonesia, is one of the games most favored by Indonesian workers in Malaysia. Games usually take place at construction sites, moving from one site to another every day, in order to avoid detection by the police.
