Kampung Tunku assemblyperson Lau Weng San claimed today that a company linked to a "Datuk Seri" previously arrested for a series of assault charges has fallen off police radar over investigations surrounding alleged investment scams.
As such, Lau told reporters that he would be presenting evidence in the form of a police report lodged again the company to Bukit Aman CCID director Amar Singh Ishar Singh, during their meeting later today.
"We highlighted the company to him (Amar Singh) before but at that point in time we had no police report, and so he stressed very much that we must have a police report," said Lau who referred to his previous meeting with Amar Singh (photo), sometime early last month.
Following their first meeting, Lau said he had personally lodged a report against the company but was told no actions could be taken as he was not a direct victim.
"Then, luckily a real victim came and told me that he had invested 5,000 renminbi (Chinese yuan) in Puchong. I advised him to lodge a police report.
"And this guy is actually an insider. Because a lot of these people who conducted money game business, they don't do it (recruitment) physically, they do it via chat groups and (transfer) cash in hand.
"They recruit members there, they give out information, they launch investment schemes online via WeChat and Whatsapp...," said Lau.
After the victim had lodged a police report in November, Lau claimed that no actions have so far been taken to investigate the case.
"The victims are still members of the group. They also know this company is still conducting business as usual, still recruiting members, despite the police report.
"So they are wondering what happened? No statement taken, nobody charged... If the police had investigated, these people would have slowed down their activities or disappear," he said.
Commenting further, Lau said the company primarily targets China nationals in Malaysia and conducted its physical operations here.
He also highlighted its alleged links to a "Datuk Seri" previously arrested for assault and reportedly charged with various drug offences.
"It is his company, he's very proud. He was wearing the company logo (on a T-shirt)... police should investigate him, his partners and subordinates," said Lau who referred to a video of the man's arrest.
"As far as we are concerned, the information from the victim is credible.
"He (the victim) has not been called up to record his statement, even after one month," said Lau.
Aside from referring to the police report against the Puchong-based company, Lau added that he also has information on three other similar companies which has yet to be investigated by the police.
Amar Singh had on Tuesday reportedly revealed a list of 30 companies under investigations this year for alleged involvement in related activities.
He also said the 30 companies identified so far as being involved in "money scams" or "money games" had affected almost a million victims and accrued losses of RM3.8 billion.- Mkini
