Woman loses RM65,100 in MCMC police impersonation phone scam

The Sun Webdesk

TANGKAK: A 39-year-old woman lost RM65,100 after falling victim to a syndicate whose members impersonated a Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) officer and a police officer.

Tangkak police chief Supt Roslan Mohd Talib said the victim lodged a report on Oct 15 claiming she received a phone call from an individual who introduced himself as an MCMC officer.

“The victim was told that she was allegedly involved in online fraud and money laundering cases. She was then instructed to transfer money from her account into several other accounts, supposedly for investigation purposes,” he said in a statement today.

He said the victim then made 13 cash transactions into two different accounts, believed to be mule accounts.

He added that the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code. – Bernama

Malaysians embrace AI speed but still crave human connection, Zoom research finds

Malaysians are adopting artificial intelligence (AI) faster than many of their regional peers, valuing speed and efficiency while still insisting on the human touch when things get complex, according to Zoom’s latest AI Natives Research. The study found that 59% of Malaysians prioritise speed in digital interactions, and 63% would abandon a brand if responses were slow or unhelpful. Yet, 83% still prefer to speak to a human agent when situations become emotional, underscoring the need for empathy in the AI era. Zoom describes Malaysia as one of the most “AI-native” markets in Asia-Pacific, with nearly all respondents (98%) already using AI tools at work. As AI adoption grows, Zoom is also expanding its focus to frontline workers, introducing Zoom Workplace for Frontline — a mobile-first, AI-driven platform designed to boost productivity, streamline communication, and empower employees on the ground.
