JOHOR BARU: A retired teacher was duped into losing RM467,237 after joining a non-existence investment scheme and legal services. Johor Baru South OCPD Asst Comm Raub Selamat said the 60-year-old woman came across an advertisement of 'Advance Fin Advisory' investment company. He said the victim was at her home in Taman Puteri Wangsa, Ulu Tiram, when she saw the advertisement on Facebook on June 17, 2025. 'The victim was attracted to the 94% profit promised within a day as advertised,'' ACP Raub said in a statement. The victim, he said, contacted the suspect and was added to a WhatsApp group and taught how to start trading the shares. ACP Raub said the victim made 20 transactions to different bank accounts from June 17 until Jun 26, 2025, amounting to RM 286,377. 'The victim was directed to make additional payments when she wanted to withdraw the profits,'' he said. Unable to withdraw the profits the victim sought assistance from a legal firm from an advertisement on Facebook. She then contacted an individual who claimed to be the representative of the 'Benjamin Lee & Co' legal firm. 'The victim was taught on how to recover the profits but had to pay RM180,900 as legal fees,'' he said, adding the victim made seven transactions into seven different banks from July 4 to Aug 2, 2025. He said the victim only realised she was cheated when asked to bank in more money. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property.

CPO Futures Close Higher On Stronger Export Data
By Rosemarie Khoo Mohd Sani KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- The crude palm oil (CPO) futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (BMD) ended higher on Friday, buoyed by stronger export performance as outlined by cargo surveyors, said palm oil trader David Ng. According to cargo surveyors, Intertek Testing Services (ITS) and Amspec, exports for the first half of August rose by 16 per cent and 21 per cent, respectively, compared with the same period in July. However, Ng said the expectation of rising output in the coming weeks is weighing down on sentiments. 'We see prices supported at RM4,380 per tonne and resistance at RM4,500 per tonne,' he said to Bernama. Meanwhile, Mumbai-based Sunvin Group commodity research head Anilkumar Bagani noted that Malaysia's strong August palm oil export, along with a resurgence in Chinese demand, has supported palm oil prices today, despite the bearish overnight soybean oil market on the Chicago Board of Trade. At the close, spot-month August 2025 was unchanged at RM4,338 per tonne, September 2025 rose RM67 to RM4,425 per tonne, and October 2025 increased RM69 to RM4,472 per tonne. The November 2025 contract rose by RM75 to RM4,511 per tonne, December 2025 expanded by RM78 to RM4,528 per tonne, and January 2026 climbed RM75 to RM4,526 per tonne. Trading volume slid to 81,890 lots from 88,920 lots on Thursday, while open interest rose to 249,718 contracts from 244,194 contracts previously.

CPO Futures Down On Profit-taking, B50 Delay & Weak China Vegoil Prices
CPO Futures Down On Profit-taking, B50 Delay & Weak China Vegoil Prices By Rosemarie Khoo Mohd Sani KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 (Bernama) -- The crude palm oil (CPO) futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (BMD) closed lower on Thursday, pressured by profit-taking following calls by an Indonesian industry group to delay the B50 biodiesel mandate. According to reports, the Indonesian Palm Oil Association cited supply constraints, noting that meeting the 50 per cent palm oil blend requirement would need a sharp rise in CPO output. This would divert supplies from the export market and reduce revenue from export taxes which are used to subsidise the biodiesel programme. The B50 mandate is a national initiative aimed at reducing fuel imports and cutting carbon emissions. It requires a 50 per cent blend of palm oil-based biodiesel with fossil diesel fuel. Mumbai-based Sunvin Group commodity research head Anilkumar Bagani said the market was also weighed by losses in rapeseed oil futures on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, as well as weaker palm oil and soybean oil futures in China. 'The stronger Malaysian ringgit has also put pressure on ringgit-denominated prices,' he added. Anilkumar noted that any delay in implementing the B50 mandate would 'take out a lot of bullishness from the palm oil market.' Meanwhile, palm oil trader David Ng said market sentiment was further dampened by concerns over weak demand in the coming weeks, following the recent price rally and seasonally high production levels. 'We see prices supported at RM4,350 per tonne and resistance at RM4,450 per tonne,' he added. At the close, the spot-month August 2025 and September 2025 contracts fell RM29 each to RM4,338 per tonne and RM4,358 per tonne, respectively, while October 2025 decreased RM32 to RM4,403 per tonne. The November 2025 contract shed RM34 to RM4,436 per tonne, December 2025 dropped RM39 to RM4,450 per tonne, and January 2026 declined RM35 to RM4,451 per tonne. Trading volume slid to 88,920 lots from 97,321 lots on Wednesday, while open interest rose to 244,194 contracts from 236,360 contracts yesterday. The physical CPO price for August South fell RM20 to RM4,370 per tonne. -- BERNAMA
