Ex-rep turns the tables on deepfake scam ring
PETALING JAYA: With the faces of popular figures appearing in deepfake videos promoting investment scams, a former state assemblyman has deliberately stepped into the trap to expose the syndicate's tactics. Former Pasir Pinji assemblyman Datuk Chan Kam said he recently discovered that AI-generated scam videos were widely circulating on social media. 'I decided to click on one of them and enter my contact details to see what would happen. 'Soon after, I received a phone call from someone inviting me to invest in a plan. 'The caller said if I chip in US$250 (RM1,100), I could receive a return of between RM5,000 and RM20,000,' he told a press conference organised by MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong yesterday. Chan said after transferring the money into a bank account, the scammer kept updating him daily on his supposed investment status while persuading him to invest further. But he stopped just there. Cause for concern: Chong speaking on the rise of AI-powered cheating cases in Malaysia during a press conference at Wisma MCA, Kuala Lumpur. Looking on is Chan (centre). — YAP CHEE HONG/The Star 'Obviously, the money is gone,' he said, adding that the fund was pooled by himself, Chong, and several members of the Crime Prevention Foundation and the Malaysia-China Friendship and Mutual Aid Association. Chan said he had gathered the relevant evidence and planned to lodge a police report. 'I hope that by sharing my story, more people will be cautious and not fall for these scams,' he said. Chong said deepfake videos featuring celebrities, politicians, high-ranking civil servants and prominent businessmen endorsing investment scams are increasingly being used to deceive unsuspecting investors. He cited one particularly absurd clip showing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim speaking in English with a Tamil accent. 'It's ridiculous. Remember, there is no such thing as easy money. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is fake,' he added. Sharing police statistics, Chong said a total of 13,956 scam cases involving RM2.11bil were reported last year, with 85% of victims lured through social media. Also present were lawyer James Ee Kah Fuk, Perak Malaysia-China Friendship and Mutual Aid Association chairman Chuah Ai Ngor, and Perak MCA Public Services and Complaints Department chief Yuen Zhan How.

Global players eye Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting
Ramping up: Several major global actors, including the United States, China and Russia, will also take part in the Asean Post-Ministerial Conferences. — RAJA FAISAL HISHAN/The Star KUALA LUMPUR: Final preparations for the 58th Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) and related programmes are progressing smoothly. The meeting, to be held from July 8 to 11 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, is set to welcome Asean ministers, key dialogue partners from major powers and a robust agenda – all against the backdrop of shifting trade dynamics. Guided by Foreign Affairs Ministry officials, a walkabout yesterday led journalists, photographers and cameramen through permitted zones. Each hall and conference room has been labelled, with dedicated zones including the International Media Centre and designated door-stop interview points. According to the Foreign Ministry, all logistical arrangements should have been finalised by last night. The 58th AMM will be attended by foreign ministers from all 10 Asean member states – Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. They will be joined by Asean secretary-general Dr Kao Kim Hourn of Cambodia and the Foreign Minister of Timor-Leste, as the country advances its application for Asean membership. In response to international interest, several major global actors, including the United States, China and Russia, will also take part in the Asean Post-Ministerial Conferences. Additional dialogue partners include the European Union, Australia, Canada, India, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Highlights of the four-day event include the South-East Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone Commission Executive Committee meeting; trilateral meetings involving Malaysia with Brazil, Norway, Switzerland and Turkiye, alongside the Asean Secretariat; and a conference on Cooperation Among East Asian Countries for Palestinian Development. The opening ceremony will be officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on July 9. The US delegation's participation is expected to draw particular attention, as President Donald Trump's 90-day tariff pause is set to expire during the same week – adding further weight to US-Asean dialogue. Relief from trade tensions is expected to feature prominently in the discussions.
