Kuala Lumpur, 29th November 2024 - A law allowing the police to take control of scam victims' bank accounts will be a game-changer in stamping out incidents of Malaysians being duped repeatedly, say the police.
A new law giving the police powers to control victims' bank accounts will boost effort to stop scammers in the act, said Director of Commercial Crime Investigation Department, CP Dato' Sri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf.
While welcoming such a law, which has been proposed in Singapore, Dato' Sri Ramli said such a law is necessary as some victims are oblivious to the fact that they are being targeted by scammers.
"I feel Malaysia needs such laws because people refuse to believe that they are being scammed (despite warnings and advice from the police).
“Such laws will give the police punitive powers to seize accounts of victims to prevent them from being scammed,” he said when contacted yesterday.
