KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 232 individuals have a lodged a complaint with the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) against a scheme centred around Islamic Redeemable Preference Shares (IRPS).
According to Malaysia International Humanitarian Organisation (MHO) secretary Datuk Hishamuddin Hashim, the scheme's managers promised high dividends to the investors, but the scheme failed to deliver returns amounting to RM80mil in losses for the victims.
Speaking to reporters outside the SC headquarters, he noted that the scheme gained credibility through the involvement of prominent figures who held positions within the firms, leading many to believe the investment was legitimate.
Hishamuddin said formal complaints have now been submitted to the SC, with MHO calling for a full investigation. - Bernama

Bank Islam stands alone as finance sector lags in Syariah compliance
KUALA LUMPUR: Banking and finance remain the least syariah-compliant sector on Bursa Malaysia, with only five counters meeting the criteria set by the syariah Advisory Council (SAC) of the Securities Commission (SC). In its latest biannual review, the SC said just five out of 38 financial services firms, or 13 per cent, are classified as syariah-compliant, with Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd being the only bank among them. The other four are Bursa Malaysia Bhd, MBSB Bhd, RCE Capital Bhd and Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Keluarga Bhd, a reminder that Islamic-compliant players in the finance space remain few and far between. It is worth noting that MBSB, formerly Malaysia Building Society Bhd, is the parent company of the non-listed MBSB Bank Bhd. The May 2025 update, which takes effect today, also saw nine companies dropped from the syariah-compliant list, including Sarawak Cable Bhd, MAG Holdings Bhd and GuocoLand (Malaysia) Bhd. Others removed are Carzo Holdings Bhd, Rhong Khen International Bhd, TP Tec Holding Bhd, VETECE Holdings Bhd, Vsolar Group Bhd and newly listed Saliran Group Bhd, which made its debut on March 13. "These refer to securities which were earlier classified as syariah-compliant but due to certain factors such as changes in the companies' business operations and financial positions, are subsequently reclassified as syariah non-compliant," the SC said. In light of this, investors holding such securities have been advised to dispose of them if the market price on the effective date is equal to or higher than the original investment cost. "Any dividends received up to the effective date and capital gains arising from the disposal of syariah non-compliant securities on the effective date can be kept by the investors," it added. However, the SC noted that any dividends or gains received after that must be channelled to baitulmal or charitable bodies. Meanwhile, 41 new companies have been added to the syariah-compliant list, spanning sectors such as healthcare, property, plantations and logistics. Among the newly classified stocks are Apex Healthcare Bhd, IOI Properties Group Bhd, PLS Plantations Bhd, CJ Century Logistics Holdings Bhd, RichTech Digital Bhd, Oriental Kopi Holdings Bhd and Eco-Shop Marketing Bhd. The SAC said the list is based on audited financial statements issued between Oct 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025. Companies are assessed using a two-tier quantitative screening approach that involves business activity benchmarks and financial ratios, alongside qualitative evaluations of public perception from an Islamic perspective. With the latest changes, 850 out of 1,056 listed companies are now deemed syariah-compliant, maintaining a compliance rate of 80 per cent. Construction and energy remain the most syariah-compliant sectors, with compliance rates of 96 per cent and 93 per cent respectively. Transportation and logistics follow at 91 per cent. The SC updates the list twice a year, in May and November.

Rights group urges Anwar to act, 28 Malaysians trapped in Myanmar human trafficking crisis
PUTRAJAYA: A rights group has urged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to fully leverage Malaysia's Asean chairmanship to address the ongoing human trafficking crisis involving Malaysians across the region. The Malaysia International Humanitarian Organisation (MH0) secretary-general Datuk Hishamuddin Hashim said many Malaysians remain detained and confined as a result of deception and manipulation by criminal trafficking networks. "MHO has received numerous alarming reports of Malaysians being lured by fraudulent job offers and subsequently trafficked to countries such as Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, where they face inhumane treatment, exploitation, and illegal detention. "Therefore, we believe that Malaysia's leadership as chair of Asean this year presents a timely and strategic opportunity to comprehensively and effectively elevate the human trafficking issue to the regional agenda," he told reporters at Wisma Putra here. He shared details of 28 victims who are currently held in Myanmar. Asean leaders, meeting in Kuala Lumpur earlier this week, pledged to intensify regional cooperation against transnational crimes — particularly online scams and human trafficking — through the Asean Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime (AMMTC). Thousands of people have been lured by social media posts advertising high-paying jobs in countries such as Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, only to find themselves trapped in cyber scam operations—some held against their will and forced to defraud others online. Hishamuddin said Malaysia's leadership in Asean gives it a key role to lead unified policies and cooperation between countries to tackle the rising problem of transnational crimes, like human trafficking. "Our nation's pivotal role in Asean leadership positions us to spearhead the development of unified policies, enhance cross-border collaboration, and coordinate collective action against this escalating transnational crime," he said after handing over an appeal letter to Anwar via the Foreign Ministry. Hishamuddin also proposed the establishment of a special ASEAN task force to tackle the growing issue of human trafficking in the region. MHO also urged all affected countries to demonstrate full commitment by taking swift and decisive action to dismantle all known scam centres operating within their jurisdictions, he said. "These illicit operations must not be permitted to continue threatening the safety and welfare of Asean citizens," Hishamuddin said. Last November, Malaysia announced it would make human trafficking a key priority during its Asean chairmanship in 2025.
