MBI Selangor refutes any connection to MBI International Group
Sinar Harian reported that MBI Selangor said there was a possibility of public confusion arising from the similarity of names between the two entities and it is taking this seriously.
'MBI Selangor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Selangor government established to drive strategic development, investment and management of state assets in line with the aspirations of sustainable development and prosperity of the people of Selangor.
'Therefore, we urge the public to be careful and not to be confused with entities that are not related to the official operations of the Selangor government.
'Any further information about MBI Selangor can be obtained through our official website at www.mbiselangor.com or other official communication channels,' it said in a statement on Saturday (May 31).
Previously, it was reported that a businessman with the title of Tan Sri was among three individuals who were arrested after being believed to be involved in an investment fraud scheme involving MBI.
Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department acting director Datuk Seri Muhammed Hasbullah Ali said the three suspects, who are local men aged between 46 and 58 years old, were arrested in raids carried out through Ops Northern Star around Kuala Lumpur and Penang between May 1 and 17.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain had also announced that his department arrested eight individuals and seized assets worth RM3.17bil on April 11, based on information from an Interpol Red Notice.

Selangor's smart parking plan: How it stacks up against global models
PETALING JAYA, Aug 14 — Selangor's upcoming Selangor Intelligent Parking (SIP) system will centralise on-street parking management in four local councils — Petaling Jaya (MBPJ), Subang Jaya (MBSJ), Shah Alam (MBSA) and Selayang (MPS) — under a single integrated model. Under the arrangement, local councils will set parking policies and rates, while Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI) subsidiary Rantaian Mesra Sdn Bhd will coordinate the system. A private concessionaire will operate the system, including fee collection, while enforcement will remain under council authority with operational support from the concessionaire. State Local Government and Tourism Committee chairman Datuk Ng Suee Lim said the move will 'streamline and centralise' parking services, improve efficiency and boost collection rates from about 30 per cent to 60 per cent. The concessionaire is expected to invest around RM200 million in infrastructure, including about 1,800 CCTV cameras across the participating councils. Parking rates — currently between RM0.40 and RM0.60 per hour — will remain unchanged for now. Revenue will be shared between the concessionaire (50 per cent), the local councils (40 per cent) and MBI (10 per cent). However, some councillors and residents have voiced concerns over the revenue split and the expanded role of a private operator, warning of reduced oversight and possible long-term impacts on council income. While the SIP framework is still being finalised, similar smart parking models have been implemented worldwide. Here's how other countries manage such systems — and who controls the profits and data. Taiwan In Taipei, Tainan and Kaohsiung, parking meters are connected to the city's IoT network, feeding real-time availability and usage data to mobile apps. Drivers are charged by the minute rather than fixed time blocks, encouraging vehicle turnover in busy areas. Data is owned and regulated by local governments, with all revenue going into municipal budgets. Enforcement is carried out by city officers, not private firms, ensuring transparency in fines and collections. Estonia Known for its advanced e-governance, Estonia integrates parking into its X-Road national data exchange platform, enabling seamless communication between municipal authorities, police and transport agencies. While private vendors may supply meters and apps, policy, enforcement and income remain under local authority control. Parking fees are dynamically adjusted based on demand, with real-time price displays. South Korea In Seoul, Incheon and Bucheon, smart parking systems are linked to citywide traffic management platforms. Mobile apps locate and reserve spaces and connect unused private parking — such as in office buildings — to the public network. Technology providers are often private, but oversight, fee setting and revenue collection remain public functions. Some cities use blockchain to track payments and curb fraud. Singapore Singapore's app, developed by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Housing & Development Board (HDB), is a model of user-friendly public sector innovation. Drivers pay by the minute, extend sessions remotely and receive expiry reminders. While tech contractors assist in development, the government controls enforcement and retains all revenue. United Kingdom In cities such as London and Birmingham, councils hire private firms like NSL or APCOA to provide wardens, process payments and maintain equipment. These companies are paid service fees rather than a share of collections. Penalty notices are issued under council authority, and parking income flows back to public budgets. Australia Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane use smart meters and app-based payments, often from international vendors like Parkeon or Duncan Solutions. Councils retain full control of pricing, rules and enforcement, using vendor systems solely as operational tools rather than revenue-sharing arrangements. United States Chicago's 2008 decision to lease parking meters to a private consortium for 75 years is widely regarded as a cautionary tale. The city received an upfront payment but lost control over pricing and billions in future revenue. Rates rose sharply, and the contract has proven difficult to renegotiate — a scenario many cities now avoid. How Selangor's SIP compares Unlike most models where public agencies retain control over both revenue and enforcement, Selangor's SIP proposes a significant private role in fee collection and operational support for enforcement. While centralisation could make parking more convenient for motorists and improve compliance, critics warn it may weaken local council oversight and divert funds from public services. Experiences in Taiwan, Estonia and Singapore show that efficiency and transparency can be achieved without relinquishing control of data, enforcement and revenue to private operators. As Selangor finalises its agreement, the decision will be whether SIP becomes a publicly accountable upgrade — or mirrors global cases where privatisation brought long-term trade-offs.

Ipoh City Council warns against fake kiosk application agents
IPOH: The Ipoh City Council (MBI) has denied appointing any intermediaries to handle kiosk applications within its jurisdiction. A statement issued today clarified that recent social media posts claiming individuals could facilitate such applications for a fee of RM1,500, including licence costs, are false. MBI emphasised that these promotions are misleading and urged the public to remain cautious. 'The council will not be liable for any losses suffered by those who engage with these unauthorised offers,' the statement read. Residents seeking accurate information on stall applications are advised to contact the Hawker Management Unit under MBI's Department of Public Health and Municipal Services. MBI also warned of legal action against parties misusing its name or damaging its reputation through false claims. – Bernama

Fresh intelligence prompts Bukit Aman to revisit MBI-linked firms in Penang
GEORGE TOWN, Aug 10 — The ghost of the Mobility Beyond Imagination (MBI) ponzi scheme appears far from over, with fresh police investigations underway, The Star reported. Sources told the English daily that Bukit Aman's Anti-Money Laundering division is preparing to revisit several Penang-based companies previously linked to MBI, following new intelligence shared by Chinese authorities and recent arrests made during Ops Northern Star in April and May. 'The mastermind, Tedy Teow, had created a pyramid business structure using proxies to manage investments worth billions, including lands, properties and luxury items,' the source was quoted as saying. The source added that Teow positioned close family members and friends at the top of the MBI hierarchy, while his lieutenants ensured major property projects in Malaysia and Thailand proceeded smoothly. MBI founder Teow, now in custody in China, first launched the scheme in 2009. 'His modus operandi involved using the Hawala system to transfer money internationally without physical cash movements,' the source said. Once funds were routed through multiple MBI accounts, lawyers reportedly handled screening and documentation before approving partial payments to placate investors. To attract wealthy investors, MBI also offered free holidays to destinations like Italy and Dubai, with the requirement that participants top up their investments by up to RM100,000, The Star noted. Teow carefully cultivated MBI's image as a legitimate conglomerate with property interests in high-end residential and retail developments across Malaysia and Danok, Thailand. One major project now under scrutiny is the reclaimed land development near Pulau Jerejak off Penang island. According to the report, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow confirmed that Penang Development Corporation (PDC) handed over documents relating to the Penang World City (PWC) project to Bukit Aman's special task force on July 18. Chow said the documents detailed payments made to PDC by Mutiara Metropolis Sdn Bhd (formerly Tropicana Ivory Sdn Bhd), with investigations focusing on whether funds paid between 2011 and 2019 were linked to the MBI scam. The Star also reported that Teow's elder brother Wooi Pin and brother-in-law Tan Kim Hee were believed to be partners in the PWC project launched in 2011. Police detained Tan on April 2 for questioning but released him five days later, although his company's bank accounts totalling RM10 million were frozen. Authorities also seized two luxury vehicles – a Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 Coupe and a BMW 330Li. So far, 17 suspects, including prominent Penang real estate figures, have been detained in connection with the investigation. Teow, also known as Zhang Yufa, now faces possible life imprisonment if convicted of fraud under China's Anti-Money Laundering Law.
