She received a phone call from an unknown number and spoke to a woman who claimed to be from Pos Laju Malaysia. 03 Jul 2025 08:38pm Photo for illustrative purposes only - Pixabay GEORGE TOWN - A female stockbroker lost RM1.24 million to a phone scam syndicate that alleged she was under investigation for money laundering. Penang deputy police chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said the Commercial Crime Investigation Division of the Northeast district police headquarters received a report from the 47-year-old local woman yesterday. "According to the victim, on June 20, while she was at her office in George Town, she received a phone call from an unknown number and spoke to a woman who claimed to be from Pos Laju Malaysia. "The caller informed her that a package containing an identity card, ATM card, and cheque book was sent under her name from Kuching, Sarawak to Terengganu and the package had been detained by the police,' he said in a statement today. Photo for illustrative purposes only - Pixabay The call was then allegedly redirected to a police station in Terengganu, where the victim spoke to another individual posing as a police officer. She was told that her bank account was suspected of being involved in a money laundering case. Mohd Alwi said the 'police officer' also instructed the woman to surrender all her money for auditing purposes and assured that it would be returned once the investigation was completed. He said the suspect also threatened the woman, warning that a warrant for her arrest would be issued if she failed to comply. "Out of fear, the victim then made 26 online fund transfers into five different bank accounts provided by the suspect between June 26 and June 30, amounting to RM1.24 million. "The woman only began to suspect she had been duped after sharing her predicament with family members, who told her it was a scam. She then lodged a police report to enable an investigation to be carried out,' he said. He added that further investigations are underway, including efforts to trace the syndicate's network. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. - BERNAMA More Like This

Police open three investigation papers over Plus highway obstruction
REMBAU: Police have opened three investigation papers and arrested a man believed to be the owner of one of three vehicles involved in a recent traffic obstruction incident on the southbound stretch of the North-South Expressway (Plus), near the Pedas Linggi lay-by. Rembau district police chief Superintendent Hasani Hussain said the suspect, in his 50s, was arrested in the Seremban area at about 12.30am today. "We are still tracking down the remaining suspects, who are currently at large. "Preliminary investigations revealed that the man is a vehicle repossession agent. The group is believed to have briefly blocked the road while attempting to repossess a car. "They reportedly obstructed traffic for only a short duration," he said when contacted. Hasani said the case is being investigated under Section 279 of the Penal Code for negligent or reckless driving, which carries a maximum penalty of six months' imprisonment, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both, upon conviction. The case is also being investigated under Section 341 of the Penal Code for wrongful obstruction of public passage, which provides for up to one month's jail, a fine of up to RM1,000, or both.

If convicted, offenders face a fine of between RM1,000 and RM5,000, and may have their driving licence suspended for up to 12 months. "Police take any form of disruption to traffic flow seriously. Such actions pose a danger to other road users, particularly on highways where vehicles travel at high speeds. "Not only are such acts unlawful, but they also have the potential to cause fatal accidents," he added. Those with information about the incident are urged to assist in the investigation by contacting criminal investigation officer Inspector Noor Fathiah Ak'Dilah Ishak at 010-5825384, Traffic Investigation Officer Sergeant Siti Nur Balqes Abdul Rahim at 019-7992519, or the Rembau district police operations room at 06-6851999.
