Investment Scam Syndicate Busted In Puchong, 10 Held
SERDANG, June 23 (Bernama) -- Police have arrested 10 individuals believed to be involved in a foreign currency investment scam that caused losses amounting to RM399,787, in a raid at a premises in Bandar Puteri, Puchong last Friday. Sepang police chief ACP Muhamad Farid Ahmad said the suspects, comprising seven men and three women aged between 21 and 38, were believed to have assumed various roles, including managers, platform developers, customer service agents and administrators handling company documents. He said initial investigations revealed that the syndicate had been operating for the past six months, targeting both local and foreign victims. 'The syndicate allegedly offered lucrative returns on initial investments to gain victims' trust to continue investing through a self-developed app. 'It operated under two unregistered companies, and police are currently investigating another company believed to have been used to facilitate fund transfers from victims,' he told a press conference today. Muhamad Farid said checks on the application revealed a total of 2,597 individuals believed to have fallen victim to the scam, comprising 2,482 Malaysians, 111 Indonesians and one each from India, Mongolia, South Africa and Bhutan. 'During the raid, police seized three computer monitors, two CPUs, six laptops, 14 mobile phones and a Wi-Fi modem, all believed to have been used in the illegal operations, with a total seizure value estimated at RM45,000,' he said. He said none of the suspects had prior criminal records and all tested negative for drugs. 'The suspects were initially remanded for one day and released on police bail, but have since been re-arrested in connection with a report lodged in Taman Melawati,' he said, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code and Section 137(1) of the Financial Services Act 2013.

AMESU Signs Historic Six Collective Agreements With Plantation Employers
SHAH ALAM, June 23 (Bernama) -- The All Malayan Estates Staff Union (AMESU) marked a historic milestone today by signing six Collective Agreements (CAs) simultaneously with plantation sector employers. The signing ceremony, which was witnessed by Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong, involved representatives from the Malayan Agricultural Producers Association (MAPA), IOI Group of Companies, Dara Lam Soon Sdn Bhd, Arah Kawasan Sdn Bhd, HK Gua Musang Sdn Bhd, and YPJ Plantations Sdn Bhd. In his speech, Sim noted that AMESU, established in 1927, is one of the country's oldest trade unions, representing over 5,000 workers, while MAPA serves as the umbrella body for 120 major plantation companies nationwide. 'This ceremony marks an extraordinary achievement in the history of workers' rights, as this is the first time six collective agreements have been successfully signed simultaneously,' he said. He noted that the agreements are expected to boost worker welfare and enhance productivity across the plantation sector. Under the new agreements, all AMESU members will receive salary increases of up to 12 per cent. Interestingly, Sim said the increment is retroactive, effective from Jan 1, which means that workers will also receive backdated payments ranging from RM3,000 to RM10,000, depending on their job grade, years of service, and allowance structure. Furthermore, he said workers covered under the agreements between AMESU, MAPA, and the six plantation firms will no longer be subject to the minimum wage threshold of RM1,700 per month. 'Instead, the agreed salary structure sets a new starting wage at RM1,800 per month, which is higher than the current minimum wage,' he added.

Only 23.4 Pct Of Youths Involved In Agriculture Sector In Perak
GOPENG, June 23 (Bernama) -- Only 23.4 per cent of youths aged 15 to 45 in Perak ventured into agriculture in 2023, said Chief Statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin. He said that individuals aged 60 and above accounted for 46.6 per cent of those involved in the sector, followed by those aged 46 to 59 at 30 per cent. 'This participation gap between the older and younger generations is not only concerning but also signals an insecure future if no drastic measures are taken. 'The lack of young manpower, difficulties in adopting modern technology, and negative perceptions of careers in this sector are the main obstacles,' he said. He spoke to reporters at the launch of the Agriculture Census 2024 Interim Report held at the state Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (FAMA) management building, Rural Transformation Centre (RTC) Gopeng, here today. Also present were the state Rural Development, Plantation, Agriculture and Food Industry Committee chairman, Datuk Mohd Zolkafly Harun, and Perak Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), Mohd Ridauddin Masud. Mohd Uzir said efforts to revitalise the agricultural sector in Perak are crucial to ensure its sustainability and competitiveness. 'The future of the agricultural sector depends on how well we can reignite the interest of the younger generation to return to the farms, not only as workers but as leaders driving the transformation of the nation's agro-industry,' he said. In addition, he said Perak recorded a total agricultural output sales value of RM15.98 billion throughout 2023.
