YWM Denies Involvement In Fundraising Scam Offering Cash Returns For Donations
KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 (Bernama) -- Yayasan Waqaf Malaysia (YWM) has denied any involvement in fundraising activities that promise cash rewards in return for donations. YWM, in a statement today, clarified that such activities were carried out by a scam syndicate misusing the names of YWM and the Tabung Musa'adah JAKIM-YWM to collect donations illegally. 'This scam uses an online marketing platform, where members of the public are invited to join WhatsApp and Telegram groups, and are then asked or coerced into making donations with the promise of cash rewards in return. 'YWM stresses that it has never entered into any form of collaboration, agreement or recognition with the online marketing platform for the collection of donations under Tabung Musa'adah JAKIM-YWM, Tabung Sa'adah JAKIM-YWM, or any other fund or waqf initiative organised by YWM,' the statement said. YWM also reminded the public not to be deceived by any offers, invitations, or advertisements for waqf contributions via online marketing platforms, WhatsApp groups, Telegram, or any other unauthorised channels. YWM also said that all official donation matters could be conducted through its official website: as well as its official social media platforms: (Facebook), (Instagram), (X), and (TikTok).

SHAH ALAM: Police have arrested 13 individuals under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma), in connection with their involvement in communication cable theft, believed to be with intent to sabotage major communication systems in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said that all suspects, arrested through Op Lusuh Mulia, committed these crimes along critical routes supporting government data infrastructure and the security sector. "Disruptions to these facilities have the significant potential to affect the maintenance of telecommunication services and related communication infrastructure, thereby threatening public order. "Therefore, all suspects will be further detained for a period not exceeding 28 days under the provisions of Section 4(5) of Sosma to assist the ongoing investigation," he said in a statement today. He added that the police are committed to combating crimes that can threaten national security and public well-being, while also calling for public cooperation to help curb criminal activities. The case is being investigated under Section 124 of the Penal Code. Previously, Hussein was reported to have said that five police personnel, including two Sergeants and three Corporals, were masterminds behind cable theft activities around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor for the past year. He said that the police personnel, who were stationed at district police headquarters and police stations around the two states, were among 16 suspects, including a woman, aged between 23 and 53, arrested for involvement in the syndicate known as "Sindiket Mulia" (Mulia Syndicate), named after its leader. — Bernama
