QuickCheck: Did an undergrad lose nearly RM190,000 to a phone scam syndicate?
THE use of eWallets is on the rise with many embracing these mobile applications for convenience and to avoid carrying around large sums of cash. However, as the popularity of eWallets continues to grow, avenues for scams are also increasing. A university student in Kuala Terengganu is reported to have become a victim to such a scam, after being told she was involved in money-laundering and drug-trafficking. Is it true that a university student was cheated out of nearly RM190,000 by a phone scam syndicate? VERDICT: TRUE Kuala Terengganu OCPD Asst Comm Azli Mohd Noor confirmed the incident, telling Bernama that the female student at a public university had lost RM187,800 after being conned by a phone scam syndicate posing as a Touch'nGo representative. He said that on Aug 4, the 26-year-old victim received a call from a suspect claiming she had misused the application and was involved in money laundering and drug trafficking. He said the suspect then instructed the victim to make several payments via bank transfers for investigation purposes and to clear her name. "The panicked and frightened victim made eight payments to six different accounts between Aug 4 and 9 using her own savings and money from her parents' account, which she took without their knowledge. "In addition, the victim also handed over three bracelets, five rings and a pendant belonging to her and her mother to a female suspect by the roadside at Pantai Penarik, Setiu, on Aug 9," he said in a statement Tuesday (Aug 12). ACP Azli said the victim, upon realising she had been cheated, lodged a police report at 9.43pm Monday (Aug 11). However, the victim could not identify or provide a detailed description of the female suspect she met, as the individual was wearing a face mask. "I urge the public not to be gullible and to instead use the 'Semak Mule' application to verify the phone numbers and bank accounts provided by suspects. "They can also contact the National Scam Response Centre hotline at 997 to obtain verification before making any transfers to third-party accounts," he added. - Bernama

Teachers caught smoking, vaping on school premises to face legal action, says Fadhlina
KUALA LUMPUR: Teachers caught vaping or smoking within school premises may soon face legal action, including fines of up to RM10,000 or imprisonment for up to two years, says Fadhlina Sidek. The Education Minister said her ministry will not tolerate teachers using vape, especially openly or in front of students, as this violates the Malaysian Teacher Standards (SGM), which emphasises the role of teachers as models of good character. "Teachers found vaping or smoking within school premises may face legal action such as fines up to RM10,000 or imprisonment of up to two years, in accordance with the Smoking Products Control Act for Public Health 2024," she said in a parliamentary written reply to a question raised by Nurul Amin Hamid (PN-Padang Terap). Nurul Amin had asked the Education Ministry to state the measures taken by the Ministry to curb the culture of vaping among school students, especially given allegations that some teachers openly use vape devices, setting a negative example for pupils and undermining the credibility of educational institutions. Fadhlina said the Education Ministry was also in the process of amending the Education (Student Discipline) Regulations to include in the sub-regulations a ban on smoking, which covers all forms of cigarettes, devices, electronic tools, and liquids related to vape. "This new amendment is in line with the enforcement of the Smoking Products Control Act for Public Health 2024, which was gazetted by the Health Ministry on Oct 1, 2024. "This prohibition includes the sale of vape products to individuals under the age of 18 and enforcement actions against premises selling vape within 40m of a school boundary or fence," she said.

University student loses RM187,800 in phone scam
KUALA TERENGGANU: A female student at a public university lost RM187,800 after falling victim to a phone scam syndicate. Kuala Terengganu police chief Assistant Commissioner Azli Mohd Noor said the victim filed a report at the Kuala Terengganu police station at 9.43pm yesterday. He said on Aug 4, the victim received a phone call from a person posing as a representative of an electronic payment company, who told the victim that she had misused the company's application. Subsequently, he said, the victim was connected to several individuals who impersonated police officers and a man with the title of "Datuk," through four separate phone numbers as a tactic to intimidate her. "During the conversation, the victim was told that she was supposedly involved in money laundering and drug offences. "She was then ordered to transfer money for investigation purposes, resulting in a loss of RM187,800," he said. From Aug 4 to 9, the victim made eight transactions through an ATM to six different accounts. In addition to the money transfers, on Aug 9, the victim also handed over three bracelets, five rings, and one pendant to a woman on the side of Jalan Pantai Penarik Setiu, as instructed by the suspects. "The victim could not identify the woman she met on the side of the road when handing over the jewellery because the suspect was wearing a face mask at the time," he said. The funds were from the victim's savings, her parents' bank accounts, and her mother's jewellery. The victim took her parents' ATM cards without their knowledge to make the transactions. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
