Mule Account Offences A Growing Concern
KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) -- Mule account offences are becoming a growing concern, with thousands of Malaysians, including students, being exploited by financial crime syndicates promising easy returns, said Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa. He said that, as of Monday (July 21), a total of 39,006 mule account cases had been detected, with 10,635 of the cases charged in court, while in 2024, there were 51,197 cases, involving over 33,000 cases brought to justice. "This is not merely a financial issue; it has become a form of organised crime used by syndicates to carry out various illegal activities, including online fraud, fake investments and e-commerce fraud,' he told a media conference on CCID current issues here today. Elaborating, Rusdi said action can be taken against those involved under sections 424A, 424B and 424C of the Penal Code, which carry a prison sentence of up to 10 years and a maximum fine of RM150,000, depending on the level of involvement and the offence. He said that among the forms of involvement are handing over bank account details to a third party without reasonable cause, opening bank accounts for others and using one's account to carry out dubious transactions. As such, Rusdi recommended the use of the 'T.A.K.E.F.I.V.E' formula as a preventive guideline to help members of the public from falling victim to financial fraud syndicates and mule account offences. He said the first step is Think - individuals need to think critically before making any decision related to investment and avoid taking hasty action; followed by Ask - always ask questions and seek valid documents before providing banking or investment information, as well as check with the relevant authorities. He added that Knowledge also plays a crucial preventive role, with the public required to be aware of the latest modus operandi used by cyber criminals and carrying out e-Checks (online checks) using portals such as Semak Mule PDRM and Investment Checker by the Securities Commission, as well as Financial Consumer Alert List by Bank Negara Malaysia. "The fifth step is Fight - avoid being susceptible and don't be deceived by promises of huge or quick returns - and the sixth step is to practice the principle of Ignore, whereby the public is advised not to entertain dubious offers, particularly on social media,' he said.

[UPDATED] Malaysian doctor dies after 100m fall in Italian Dolomites
KUALA LUMPUR: A 60-year-old Malaysian doctor died after she lost her way and fell 100m down the Croda del Becco trail, north of Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, last Friday. The victim, Dr Khaw Bee Ling from Kedah, was on a hiking trip with her friends. She was reported missing on July 17. Hopes of finding her alive were dashed when a search and rescue helicopter spotted her body at the foot of the Croda del Becco slabs at first light the next day. According to Italian news report Antenna Tre, the location where Khaw was found is one of the most imposing peaks in the Dolomites, between the Ampezzo Dolomites Natural Park and the Braies Dolomites. The report said Dr Khaw lost track of the trail on the Belluno side of the mountain, reaching steep, smooth slabs before falling about 100m and ending up in a crevice. The news report said Dr Khaw had sent a message to her friend, telling her she had lost her way back and needed help. "A search operation was immediately launched with personnel and equipment, including helicopters and drones with thermal imaging cameras, continuing through the night and resuming at first light with overflights and patrols, including with dog units. The positioning of the cell phone received from the mobile phone provider was crucial, allowing the search area to be narrowed down," the report said. It said Dr Khaw's body was recovered and transported to the mortuary in Cortina. "In addition to the Cortina Alpine Rescue and the Guardia di Finanza, volunteers from San Vigilio di Marebbe and Pusteria, firefighters, and the Carabinieri also participated in the search for missing Dr Khaw," the report read. Checks locally showed that Dr Khaw, a physician, was attached to a private hospital in Sungai Petani, where she was in private practice before her hiking trip to the Dolomites, Italy.
