Kuala T'ganu bank officer cheated of RM240,000 in vehicle purchase scam
KUALA TERENGGANU: A bank officer has been left devastated after losing RM241,700, including his Employees Provident Fund (EPF) savings, in an online vehicle purchase scam. Kuala Terengganu OCPD Asst Comm Azli Mohd Noor said the 52-year-old victim came across an advertisement for a used four-wheel-drive vehicle on Facebook on July 4. Interested in the offer, the victim clicked on the link and began communicating with the purported seller via WhatsApp, he said. The victim was told to provide a copy of his MyKad and make an advance payment to a representative of the suspect's company, supposedly based in Port Klang, Selangor. "Between July 9 and 21, the victim made 40 payments to eight different accounts totalling RM241,700. "The victim began to suspect he had been cheated when he was asked to pay an additional RM31,000 supposedly for fingerprinting costs at the Royal Malaysian Customs Department," he said in a statement on Monday (July 28). ACP Azli said the victim lodged a police report on Sunday (July 27) and that the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. – Bernama

KLCC street photographers fined RM2,000 each
KUALA LUMPUR: Nearly 30 freelance street photographers offering on-the-spot photo services to locals and tourists at KLCC were issued compound notices on Sunday night, each hit with a stiff fine of RM2,000 for operating without a valid permit. Authorities said the photographers were operating without valid permits in a public space. The action was taken following growing complaints and a recent misunderstanding involving some of the individuals, which went viral on social media, Harian Metro reported. The operation, involving personnel from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), Immigration Department (JIM), and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), saw nearly 30 individuals compounded under By-law 3(1) of the Federal Territory Hawkers Licensing By-Laws 2016. These freelance photographers are known for offering smartphone photography services at busy tourist spots, particularly around the KLCC area, often taking pictures of visitors with the Petronas Twin Towers and other landmarks in the background. One of the photographers, who declined to be named, said this was the first time they had received a fine for offering such services. "The notice says RM2,000. That's a lot. If this keeps happening, I'll have to find another job," he said, adding that enforcement officers had mentioned the possibility of a future permit system. He also addressed the recent viral incident, saying it stemmed from a language barrier between a photographer and a foreign tourist. "I wasn't there, but from what I heard, it was just a misunderstanding. Now, we're all affected by it," he said. Despite some resistance during the operation, officers were able to manage the situation professionally, and no serious incidents were reported. Kuala Lumpur Immigration Director Wan Mohammed Saupee Wan Yusoff was present during the operation. Authorities are reportedly looking into formal licensing mechanisms to regulate freelance photography services in public areas.
