Op Curi Air: Illegal water connection uncovered at Mantin farm
NILAI: The National Water Services Commission (SPAN) enforcement division raided a vegetable farm in Mantin late Tuesday night for allegedly stealing treated water. In a statement today, SPAN said the farm had made an illegal pipe connection to draw water for use on the premises and in its workers' quarters. "SPAN, together with Syarikat Air Negeri Sembilan Sdn Bhd (Sains), carried out Op Curi Air at a farm suspected of illegally tapping into the water supply network. "Checks revealed an unauthorised connection made without the operator's permission. "The illegal tapping was done directly from a pipe connected to a Sains meter," the statement read. Chlorine tests confirmed that the water was treated and supplied by the operator for use in farm operations and the workers' quarters. The case is being investigated under Section 89(9) of the Water Services Industry Act 2006 (Act 655), which carries a maximum fine of RM50,000, imprisonment of up to six months, or both, upon conviction. SPAN warned that unauthorised tapping of treated water is a serious offence and would result in legal action. "Further action, including cutting off the connection and a full investigation, will follow. "The public is urged to notify their local water operator if they detect any suspicious activity involving illegal water connections or the theft of treated water. "Reports or information on water pollution can be submitted via (SPAN's sisMAS system)," it added.

Be wary of suspicious links received via WhatsApp, says Bukit Aman CCID director
KUALA LUMPUR: The police have opened 26 investigation papers into a scam syndicate that tricks victims into revealing their one-time password (OTP), resulting in losses totalling RM151,000 since January this year. Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Comm Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said the victims claimed they had received a suspicious message and clicked on an embedded link. "Once the victims enter information related to the OTP, there is a risk their WhatsApp accounts might be taken over by the syndicate," he said when contacted on Friday (July 25). Comm Rusdi explained that the syndicate's modus operandi involves sending random messages with links to potential victims. "If the victim clicks on the link and follows the syndicate's instructions to provide certain details, the perpetrators might be able to take over the WhatsApp account," he added. He advised the public to remain vigilant and avoid falling for such tactics. "People should delete suspicious messages or links immediately and verify the source of any URL before clicking on it. Never provide personal details, and always change your password regularly," he said. Recently, suspicious links were being spread online regarding the RM100 additional cash aid for Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) programme. The link is a prompt for people to supposedly check their Sara status.
