SC charges exunit trust consultant over RM20,000 investment fraud

KUALA LUMPUR: The Securities Commission (SC) today charged a former unit trust consultant (UTC), Nadihah Nawi, at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court for offences related to securities fraud involving purported unit trust investments.
Nadihah, 34, faced two charges, jointly with another individual who is currently at large, under Section 179(b) of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 (CMSA), read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code.
She was accused of defrauding two investors of RM20,000 by representing a unit trust investment in Kenanga Investors Bhd.
"The offences took place between January and June 2022 in Kuala Lumpur. The monies deposited by the investors were instead utilised for Nadihah's own unit trust investments in KIB.
"Nadihah was a UTC with Principal Asset Management Bhd at the material time," the SC said in a statement.
The SC noted that Nadihah claimed trial to both charges before Sessions Court judge Tuan Izralizam bin Sanusi and was granted bail of RM70,000 with two local sureties.
The court also imposed an additional bail condition requiring the accused to report to the SC's investigating officer at the SC office in Kuala Lumpur on a monthly basis.
However, the court did not order the surrender of Nadihah's passport as it had already expired in 2023.
If convicted, Nadihah faces a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine of not less than RM1 million.
The SC reminded the public to remain vigilant and to verify any investment offers through the SC's Investment Checker.

Football match brawl: Police arrest 7, including players and team manager

TELUK INTAN: Police have arrested seven men for rioting during a football match at Padang Speedy here, with a video of the incident also going viral on social media. Hilir Perak district police chief Assistant Commissioner Dr Bakri Zainal Abidin said the men, aged between 21 and 31, were detained around 11.30pm yesterday at the compound of the Hilir Perak district police headquarters, with all of them admitting to being involved in the fight. He said the riot occurred during the second half of a Hilir Perak Integrity League 2025 football match between Padang Tembak FC and Jenderata FC. According to him, tensions began in the second half when a Padang Tembak FC player made a hard tackle on a Jenderata FC player, which then triggered an altercation between the two teams. "The situation became heated and uncontrollable when one of the players was punched, leading to a full-blown physical brawl involving players from both teams. "Amid the chaos, two male spectators, believed to be supporters, climbed over the fence and entered the field — one of them attempted to kick a player, which led to retaliation and a scuffle between players and spectators," he said. Bakri added that the situation escalated when a team manager punched the central referee in the ribs. "While trying to break up the fight, the central referee fell to the ground, and several opposing players also physically assaulted other referees," he said. He said all suspects, including team managers and players from both teams involved in the incident, were identified based on video recordings and jersey numbers. The case is being investigated under Section 147 of the Penal Code, and all those arrested are being remanded until this Sunday.
