KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — A female civil servant suffered losses of almost RM700,000 after a Macau scam syndicate duped her into believing she was involved in a money-laundering scheme.

Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said the 51-year-old woman who worked at a statutory body agency had received a phone call from an individual claiming to be a Pos Laju staff from Kuala Lumpur on May 21.

He said the victim was informed that there was a package registered under her name containing an identity card and an ATM card sent to an individual with an address in Tuaran, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and that the package had been held.

“The victim, who initially denied the matter, was then put on the line with another individual who introduced himself as a police officer from the Kota Kinabalu headquarters, stating that the victim had been identified to be involved in money laundering activities,” he said in a statement here today.

PUTRAJAYA: Dry ingredients used in the cooked food supply (BMB) programme in some boarding schools had expired for as long as 427 days, the third series of the Auditor-General's Report 2018 found.

The report said that in a physical audit done from February to March 2019, it found that 28 dry ingredients in 13 out of 42 school samples had no expiration dates and had food that had expired, ranging from one to 427 days.

"This is because there was no inspection done by the contractor or the dormitory supervisor on the expired stocks and the stock production methods used by the contractors that did not use the ‘First In First Out’ (FIFO) concept.

"This can cause food poisoning among the students," stated the report which was released on Tuesday (July 14).

The report noted that the audit involved the evaluation of the BMB programme from 2016 to 2018, covering two main audit areas which are its performance and programme management.

KUALA LUMPUR (July 11): The Inland Revenue Board (IRB) has advised the public to be wary of fraudulent tactics by syndicates to get taxpayers to make payments for outstanding sales and service tax (SST) through false letters using the IRB's name and logo.

In a statement today, the IRB said such false letters contained personal details of victims, including banking information and the amount of outstanding payment to be made, and signed by an IRB office, which were forged.

According to the IRB, false IRB letters can be easily identified because SST particulars are handled by another agency and not under the IRB.

“The IRB views seriously the matter and the public are advised to be careful, with every call, email or dubious letter that they received, by verifying the matter with the IRB.
