Police arrested an assistant public works engineer in Yala’s Bannang Sata district over suspicions of having a hand in Sunday’s car bomb attack outside the district police station’s residential building.

KUALA LUMPUR: About 90% of Malaysians who claim they are victims of human trafficking are in truth involved in international fraud syndicates, says Datuk Mohamad Alamin .

"So it's generally not a job scam – they are criminals involved in fraud syndicates. When they face issues such as abuse from employers or are not allowed to return home, they claim they have been deceived. Khoo had suggested monitoring Malaysians who receive job offers abroad, increasing awareness campaigns on human trafficking issues and enhancing Asean cooperation to combat the problem.

"When they reach their destination, they work as scammers, conducting various online fraud operations including love scams, Macau scams or running online casinos," he said.
