KUALA LUMPUR: Police are searching for witnesses to assist in the investigation of an alleged child molestation case involving a Bangladeshi worker at a Kajang convenience store. The incident reportedly occurred on February 27, with the victim's father lodging a police report on March 12. Kajang Police chief ACP Naazron Abdul Yusof confirmed the case after a viral video surfaced on social media platform X, uploaded by user @Negeri09.

Act fast to recover losses, police urge scam victims
KUALA LUMPUR: While the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) has received scam reports involving losses amounting to RM193mil between January and July, only a fraction of the funds were successfully frozen. This, according to Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Comm Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa ( pic ), was due to the calls to NSRC being made much later after the scam occurred. 'Between January and July, the NSRC received calls on scams involving RM193mil in funds. 'However, only RM12mil was successfully frozen as some of the calls were made a month, a week, even a year after the scam occurred,' he said when contacted. The funds that were successfully frozen will eventually be returned to the victims under Section 116D of the Criminal Procedure code, once the legal process is completed, Comm Rusdi said. 'Money stolen from scams can disappear within minutes as the scammers act fast. 'I urge the public to report the matter as soon as possible,' he said. With the centre operating round the clock, Comm Rusdi said it has received 10,038 calls between Aug 3 and Aug 7. 'The majority of the calls were recorded before 8pm amounting to 7,254 with the remaining 2,514 after 8pm. 'Some 51% of the calls were genuine scams while others were inquiries,' he said. Comm Rusdi urged the public to fully utilise the SemakMule portal as it was set up to enable the public to conveniently check bank account numbers, phone numbers and companies used by scammers. 'Since Jan 1, 2015, the portal has listed 272,250 bank accounts, 216,242 phone numbers and 14,160 companies. 'Between Jan 1, 2015, and Aug 7, the portal has received 35.8 million visitors,' Comm Rusdi said.
