Businessman loses over RM2.2mil in separate scams just months apart
KUANTAN: A businessman lost over RM2.2mil in separate scams just months apart this year, after falling for fake investment schemes advertised on Facebook. Pahang police chief Comm Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said that in May, the 45-year-old man was lured by a scheme and contacted an individual via WhatsApp. He then made 18 transactions totaling RM1.86 million to six bank accounts between May 14 and July 15, 2025. "The victim received a return of over RM20,000, which convinced him to continue investing. However, last Tuesday, he was asked to make an additional RM88,000 payment for a 'fast withdrawal' process. "He refused, and checks via the Semak Mule portal revealed the bank accounts involved had criminal records," he said in a statement Thursday (July 24). Comm Yahaya added that previously, the victim fell for a similar scam, losing RM440,000 through 13 transactions between February and May this year. "In this case, he did not receive any returns and was instead asked to pay a 20 percent 'tax' to withdraw the funds. He refused after suspecting it was a scam. "As a result, the businessman lost over RM2.2 million, comprising his savings and money borrowed from friends," he said. He added that the victim lodged a police report at the Maran police headquarters on Wednesday (July 23), and the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. - Bernama

Malaysia pushes ASEAN semiconductor supply chain unity at ASEMIS 2025
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is ready to collaborate with ASEAN partners and beyond through joint investments, research partnerships and knowledge sharing to turn regional ambitions into reality, said Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry Deputy Minister Liew Chin Tong. Speaking at the ASEAN Semiconductor Summit (ASEMIS) 2025, Liew stated that ASEAN's strength lies in unity, underpinned by its strategic location, vibrant workforce, strong innovation and manufacturing capabilities, and a growing digital economy. 'What we need now is policy alignment, infrastructure readiness and cross-border collaboration to realise this potential,' he said. Liew said that as Malaysia chairs ASEAN this year, one of its key Priority Economic Deliverables (PEDs) is the development of an ASEAN Framework for an Integrated Semiconductor Supply Chain, which is targeted for completion before Malaysia hands over the chairmanship. Moreover, he said Malaysia's sophisticated semiconductor ecosystem is well-positioned to move from outsourced manufacturing – 'Made in Malaysia' – to a new emphasis on 'Made by Malaysia': the creation of Malaysian technologies. The country aims for more Malaysian companies to evolve into multinational corporations (MNCs), innovating technologies for the world. 'Also, together with ASEAN companies, to build a sustainable and resilient value chain. Our policies should be geared towards creating Malaysian, Singaporean and ASEAN semiconductor MNCs in the future,' he said. Malaysia's commitment was reaffirmed last year when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim unveiled the National Semiconductor Strategy (NSS), a bold and forward-looking policy aimed at positioning Malaysia as a global hub for semiconductor innovation, manufacturing excellence and advanced talent development. At the heart of the NSS is the goal to create 10 Malaysian technology companies with US$1 billion in annual revenue each, and another 100 semiconductor-related local companies with RM1 billion in annual revenue, he added. - Bernama

Philippines to adopt open market policy with US, Marcos Jr announces
ISTANBUL: Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos Jr declared the Philippines' shift to an 'open market' policy with the US, eliminating tariffs on American automobiles. The announcement followed his meeting with former US President Donald Trump in Washington, as reported by Anadolu Ajansi (AA). Marcos highlighted the automobile sector as a key area for liberalization, stating, 'We will open that market and no longer charge tariffs on that.' The revised trade terms include a 19 per cent tariff on Filipino exports to the US, a slight reduction from the initially proposed 20 per cent set for August 1. The agreement also facilitates increased US imports of soy, wheat, and pharmaceutical products into the Philippines. Marcos acknowledged ongoing negotiations, noting, 'There's still a lot of detail that needs to be worked out on the different products and the different exports and imports, but basically that's now our template.' - Bernama-Anadolu
