SINGAPORE - The police are actively trawling the Internet for websites offering vice or unlicensed moneylending services here in a bid to arrest the growing problem of loan sharks and online vice.

"Once detected, SPF will continue to work with the relevant authorities to take appropriate actions against these websites," it said. Law enforcement agencies in other countries also employ similar technology. In Malaysia, a police unit monitors the traffic at pornographic websites, especially those that offer child porn, and can locate in real time the users who are surfing them.

But he added that there are sectoral rules governing the operation of such websites in Singapore by pointing out that the Moneylenders Act regulates moneylending activities in approved places of business.
