Fresh intelligence prompts Bukit Aman to revisit MBI-linked firms in Penang
GEORGE TOWN, Aug 10 — The ghost of the Mobility Beyond Imagination (MBI) ponzi scheme appears far from over, with fresh police investigations underway, The Star reported. Sources told the English daily that Bukit Aman's Anti-Money Laundering division is preparing to revisit several Penang-based companies previously linked to MBI, following new intelligence shared by Chinese authorities and recent arrests made during Ops Northern Star in April and May. 'The mastermind, Tedy Teow, had created a pyramid business structure using proxies to manage investments worth billions, including lands, properties and luxury items,' the source was quoted as saying. The source added that Teow positioned close family members and friends at the top of the MBI hierarchy, while his lieutenants ensured major property projects in Malaysia and Thailand proceeded smoothly. MBI founder Teow, now in custody in China, first launched the scheme in 2009. 'His modus operandi involved using the Hawala system to transfer money internationally without physical cash movements,' the source said. Once funds were routed through multiple MBI accounts, lawyers reportedly handled screening and documentation before approving partial payments to placate investors. To attract wealthy investors, MBI also offered free holidays to destinations like Italy and Dubai, with the requirement that participants top up their investments by up to RM100,000, The Star noted. Teow carefully cultivated MBI's image as a legitimate conglomerate with property interests in high-end residential and retail developments across Malaysia and Danok, Thailand. One major project now under scrutiny is the reclaimed land development near Pulau Jerejak off Penang island. According to the report, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow confirmed that Penang Development Corporation (PDC) handed over documents relating to the Penang World City (PWC) project to Bukit Aman's special task force on July 18. Chow said the documents detailed payments made to PDC by Mutiara Metropolis Sdn Bhd (formerly Tropicana Ivory Sdn Bhd), with investigations focusing on whether funds paid between 2011 and 2019 were linked to the MBI scam. The Star also reported that Teow's elder brother Wooi Pin and brother-in-law Tan Kim Hee were believed to be partners in the PWC project launched in 2011. Police detained Tan on April 2 for questioning but released him five days later, although his company's bank accounts totalling RM10 million were frozen. Authorities also seized two luxury vehicles – a Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 Coupe and a BMW 330Li. So far, 17 suspects, including prominent Penang real estate figures, have been detained in connection with the investigation. Teow, also known as Zhang Yufa, now faces possible life imprisonment if convicted of fraud under China's Anti-Money Laundering Law.

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.

New info on MBI emerges
Cops to quiz several Penang-based companies again GEORGE TOWN: Just when many thought the ghost of Mobility Beyond Imagination (MBI) had been laid to rest, news about the ponzi scheme has resurfaced. Sources said the Bukit Aman Anti-Money Laundering division is ready to pay another round of visits to several Penang-based companies previously associated with MBI. It is understood that police have obtained fresh intelligence from their Chinese counterparts and several suspects arrested via Ops Northern Star in April and May. 'The mastermind, Tedy Teow, had formed a business pyramid comprising proxies to handle his investments worth billions, including lands, properties and luxury items,' the source claimed. 'With him (Teow) as the captain of the ship, family members and close friends were positioned at the top of the MBI chart. 'The main task of his lieutenants was to ensure all the major property projects in Malaysia and Thailand run smoothly without any hitches.' MBI founder Teow, who is now in custody in China, launched his MBI empire back in 2009. 'His modus operandi was to introduce the Hawala system to investors to transfer money internationally,' the source added. Hawala is an informal method of transferring money without any physical money actually moving. Once the money had been bankrolled into several MBI accounts, it is understood that lawyers would do the screening and documentation before giving the nod for partial payments to keep investors happy. To lure more rich investors, free holidays were offered to destinations like Italy and Dubai. All it took for investors was to top up their investments by up to RM100,000. Teow had crafted the MBI's image as a legitimate conglomerate with interests in property, including high-end residential and retail spaces across Malaysia and in Danok, Thailand. 'They were very professional with many teams of agents to manage investors' accounts. 'They operated from rented offices, owned restaurant chains and travelled in multiple luxury cars,' another source claimed. One mega project now under scrutiny is the proposed development on reclaimed land near Pulau Jerejak located off the coast of Penang island. Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow recently said the Penang Development Corporation (PDC) surrendered documents, which included minutes of meetings and financial records related to the Penang World City (PWC) project, to the Bukit Aman special task force on July 18. 'The documents concerned payments made to PDC for the purchase of land by Mutiara Metropolis Sdn Bhd (MMSB), formerly known as Tropicana Ivory Sdn Bhd. 'The focus of the investigation, as conveyed to PDC, is to examine whether any of the funds paid to PDC by MMSB between 2011 and 2019 may have been linked to the MBI scam,' Chow told a press conference in Komtar last month. Teow's elder brother, Wooi Pin, and his brother-in-law, Tan Kim Hee, were believed to be among the partners in the mega development project first launched in 2011. It was reported that police had detained Tan on April 2 to assist with the MBI probe. He was released five days later, but his company's bank accounts totalling some RM10mil were frozen. In addition, police seized two luxury vehicles – a Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 Coupe and a BMW 330Li. So far, police have detained 17 suspects, including several high-profile real estate magnates from Penang. Besides Malaysians, some two million Chinese nationals, mostly from the Chongqing province, had reportedly lost over 55bil yuan (RM32.4bil) in the MBI scheme. In their desperate bid to recover their investments, some of the investors even flew to Malaysia to search for Teow in 2019. Through Interpol, the Chinese police then issued a red notice on Nov 9, 2020, to seek the arrest of Teow. With the authorities hot on his heels, he then fled to Thailand but was later arrested in July 2022. In August 2024, Teow became the first wanted person to be extradited from Thailand to China in 25 years, according to Chinese media reports. Teow, who also went by the name Zhang Yufa, was extradited under operation 'Fox Hunt', a codename for the sweeping campaign by China's police to bring back financial criminals. Now in custody in China, Teow faces life imprisonment if convicted of fraud under the Anti-Money Laundering Law.
