On October 2, police in Perak announced the bust of a cross-border online gambling and scam laundering ring in Teluk Intan, arresting 13 suspects aged between 20 and 44. The group comprised five Malaysians and eight Myanmar nationals. Officers seized 65 mobile phones, 71 SIM cards, eight Malaysian passports, a laptop, and a car valued at approximately RM190,000.
Investigations revealed the syndicate had been laundering money for gambling syndicates targeting victims in China since mid-July. They offered locals RM500 each to surrender passport details and complete facial verification, controlling about 60 Alipay accounts. Taking a 2% cut on transaction volumes, the crew raked in roughly RM2,000 in daily profits. The investigation remains ongoing.
