Nurse loses over RM634,000 to investment scam
KUANTAN: A nurse lost more than RM634,000 after being duped by a non-existent investment scheme. Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the 39-year-old woman claimed it all started when she befriended an individual through the WhatsApp application. The person offered the victim job opportunities abroad before persuading her to invest in a scheme that promised a return of 10 per cent on the total capital invested. "The victim was then asked to invest via a website provided by the suspect via a link. "The woman then transferred money in stages into 10 different bank accounts, involving a total of more than RM634,400 between May 24 and June 29 in savings and bank loans," he said in a statement today. Yahaya said the victim began to realise she had been duped when she did not receive the returns and could no longer access the investment link that was given to her. The victim lodged a police report at the Kuantan district police headquarters yesterday and the case was being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.

Rare Life-Size Mint Green Labubu Sold For Over RM700k In Recent Auction
We already know that Labubu dolls are highly sought after and can cost a pretty penny – how much are you willing to pay for a rare piece? Recently, a rare first-generation Labubu figure was sold at a Shanghai auction, garnering attention for its jaw-dropping price. On 11th June 2025 (Wednesday), a mint-green Labubu figure was sold at the Yongle 2025 Spring Auction for an astonishing 1.08 million yuan (approximately RM634,400). However, the winning buyer was required to pay another 15% commission on top of the hammer price, bringing the total cost of the auction to approximately 1.242 million yuan (approximately RM729,600). The piece was highlighted as 'one of a kind' and is said to be the world's only mint-green Labubu. The figure stands at 131cm and is made of PVC. It was sold at the auction alongside 47 other Labubu collectable items. Another rare figure sold at the auction was a limited-edition brown Labubu for 820,000 yuan (approximately RM481,700). The total value of the sale for the auction was 3.73 million yuan (approximately RM2.2 million). The winning bidder of the rare mint-green Labubu wasn't disclosed. Reports suggest that the buyer is a prominent collector of first-generation Labubu pieces, as are the other buyers in the auction. However, it's unsurprising that the auction raised such an astonishing figure, because many fans are dedicated to collecting these trendy figurines and would pay inflated prices to get the toy. Labubu and its accompanying 'Monsters' line were created a decade ago by Hong Kong designer Kasing Lung. BLACKPINK's Lisa's love for the doll helped catapult its popularity in the last two years. The Thai idol sparked a trend in Southeast and East Asia, with many rushing to get their own Labubu to match the star. Labubu and the 'Monsters' line is now POPMART's best-selling series, raking billions in sales for the toy company. It appears the Labubu craze won't die anytime soon, but what are your thoughts on this? Would you pay RM700,000 for a rare Labubu?
