19-year-old loses RM62,000 to phone scam
JERTIH: A 19-year-old lost RM62,000 after being duped by a phone scam syndicate on Thursday (June 26). Besut district police chief Supt Azamuddin Ahmad @ Abu said the unemployed teenager answered a phone call from an individual who introduced himself as a representative from Touch 'n Go headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. 'The individual claimed that the victim's father had a RM25,000 summons related to a Touch 'n Go account. The call was then supposedly connected to the Perak police contingent headquarters, where the victim spoke to a (fake) police officer. 'The victim was further shocked when she was told that a bank account opened in her father's name was involved in a money laundering and drug case,' he said in a statement on Friday (June 27). Azamuddin said the suspect asked the victim to pay RM60,000 if she wanted to clear her father's name. Because she was afraid, the victim sold jewellery belonging to her mother, a retired teacher, to get money for the payment. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. – Bernama

Five MRSM students remanded over bullying of Form Two student
KUALA TERENGGANU: Police have arrested five students to assist in investigations into the bullying of a Form Two student at Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) in Besut. The suspects, comprising four Form Three students and one Form Five student, have been remanded for three days starting today to facilitate investigations under Section 147 of the Penal Code for rioting. Assistant court registrar Yuhanis Mohd Roslan granted the remand order when the suspects, aged between 15 and 17, were brought before the Kuala Terengganu Court Complex this morning. It was reported that police received a report regarding the bullying incident involving the Form Two student at 6.48pm on Wednesday. Besut district police chief Superintendent Azamuddin Ahmad @ Abu was quoted as saying investigations revealed that the 14-year-old victim was forced to remain in a semi-squatting position with a pair of slippers placed on his head for about 40 minutes. "The victim also claimed he was punched in the stomach and slapped by several Form Three students while in the boys' dormitory of the college around 11.30pm last Tuesday. "As a result of the incident, the victim sustained injuries to his abdomen, ribs, and back," he said. He added that the incident was noticed by the duty warden, who then brought all those involved to the warden's office. "The victim's guardian was subsequently contacted, and the victim was taken to the hospital for treatment," he said. Earlier today, six MRSM students who were found to have bullied the victim were expelled from the institution. Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki stressed that there would be no compromise on such actions under any circumstances.
