KUANTAN: Seorang pesara kerajaan mendakwa kerugian RM53,500 selepas diperdaya oleh seorang individu untuk membuat pelaburan bitcoin yang tidak wujud.
Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Komersial Pahang Supt Mohd Wazir Mohd Yusof berkata lelaki berusia 60 tahun dari Temerloh itu mendakwa individu tersebut diperkenalkan oleh rakannya pada pertengahan 2017.
Suspek didakwa memaklumkan pelaburan itu mengambil masa setahun untuk matang dan pelabur akan menerima keuntungan secara berterusan dalam mata wang dolar Amerika Syarikat yang akan dimasukkan ke dalam akaun kripto atas nama pelabur.
"Mangsa yang tertarik dengan tawaran itu telah memindahkan wang berjumlah RM26,500 ke akaun yang diberikan oleh suspek pada 28 Nov 2017, diikuti transaksi kedua pada 24 Jan 2018 berjumlah RM27,000.
"Bagaimanapun, mangsa mendakwa tidak pernah menerima hasil pelaburan itu menyebabkan dia berasa ditipu selain suspek juga gagal dihubungi sejak beberapa bulan lepas," katanya kepada pemberita di sini, hari ini.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 — Medical experts have warned that the annual haze which normally occurs between June and October may return if neighbouring countries and Malaysia failed to control open burning.
Malaysian Public Health Physicians’ Association president Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar told English daily The Star that the haze will cause enhanced respiratory problems to Covid-19 positive risk groups such as the children and the elderly.
He said people should continue to mask up whether or not haze occurs this year as Covid-19 spreads through droplets and is not an airborne virus.
“There has been no evidence to suggest that the haze situation will increase the spread of Covid-19, so technically it’s a very remote possibility.
“But because the virus spreads through droplets, using a face mask will lessen the possibility of infection.
“I would advise people to continue using a face mask, before, during and after the haze,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Environment Department air division director Mashitah Darus said Asean countries must make sure that haze does not repeat this year.
She said polluted air can increase the risk of Covid-19 infection to the general public.

Kita boleh hidup tanpa makanan lebih lama tetapi tanpa air kita hanya boleh hidup 3 sehingga 4 hari sahaja. Jika satu hari tiada air di rumah, pengguna akan mula bingung memikirkan cara untuk mandi, cuci pakaian, dan memasak apa lagi jika rumah kita mempunyai anak kecil dan warga emas yang sudah uzur.
Kebiasaannya sumber bekalan air ni boleh diperolehi dengan pelbagai cara sebagai contoh dengan galian air bawah tanah; ambil dan tapis dari air sungai atau laut, pam dipasang supaya boleh menarik air dari kawasan yang tinggi.
Bagaimana jika sumber bekalan air susah untuk didapati, sehingga terpaksa dicatu dan kualiti air pula tidak memenuhi piawaian minimum yang ditetapkan? Kita semua tahu biasanya perkara begini hanya berlaku di Afrika tetapi malangnya perkara ini turut berlaku di bumi Kelantan Darul Naim.
Penduduk Kota Bharu terpaksa mencatu bekalan air sehingga ada yang tidak mandi, semata-mata untuk penjimatan bekalan keperluan yang paling asas untuk manusia iaitu AIR. Situasi terbabit dialami penduduk sepanjang Ramadan lalu yang menyukarkan mereka untuk menjalani kehidupan dengan baik seperti yang telah dipetik dari akhbar Harian Metro yang bertarikh 18 Mei 2020.

MELAKA, July 9 — The Environment and Water Ministry (KASA) is in the midst of discussion on sharing of water between states, in efforts to resolve the country’s water supply problem, its minister Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said.
He said sharing of water being planned between states with excess supply and states experiencing water shortages, should benefit both the states and could be the solution to water scarcity.
He said among the states with surplus water supply are Terengganu, Pahang, Perak and Kedah while the state often experiencing water shortage is Melaka.
“We are currently looking into states having excess water, water being released into the sea which could be utilised and methods that could be adopted in order for us to be prepared,” he told reporters at a press conference during a work visit here.
He was commenting on a statement by NGO Pertubuhan Pelindung Khazanah Alam (Peka) Malaysia on June 30, claiming that the country is expected to face critical water problems in the next 10 to 15 years, if more aggressive action is not taken by the government or parties involved in protecting and conserving the environment.
Also present were Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Sulaiman Md Ali and KASA secretary-general Datuk Seri Zaini Ujang.

PETALING JAYA - Kegiatan sekumpulan penjenayah Macau Scam yang menyamar sebagai kakitangan pejabat pos dan polis tumpas selepas lapan lelaki tempatan berusia antara 30 hingga 43 tahun diberkas dalam operasi di sekitar Lembah Klang pada 1 dan 2 Julai lalu.
Kumpulan berkenaan dikatakan memperdaya seorang wanita warga emas berusia 90 tahun hingga mengalami kerugian mencecah RM3.83 juta.
Ketua Polis Daerah Petaling Jaya, Asisten Komisioner Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal berkata, siasatan mendapati tiga daripada mereka ialah pemilik akaun.
Beliau berkata, polis percaya modus operandi sindiket berkenaan tertumpu kepada golongan warga emas atau individu yang kurang pendedahan mengenai maklumat terkini jenayah siber.
"Siasatan masih dijalankan untuk mengesan penglibatan suspek lain yang masih bebas," katanya dalam sidang akhbar di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Petaling Jaya hari ini.

PUTRAJAYA: The Environment Ministry received about 200 complaints of blockages from hardened fat, oil and grease (FOG) in the sewerage system in just 16 days of the recovery movement control order (MCO) when many eateries resumed operations.
Its minister, Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, said it was important for eateries to ensure FOG was managed properly to prevent clogs as well as water pollution.
“Excess FOG can cause our sewage pipes to be clogged, which in turn will pollute the environment. It will also disrupt the treatment process at sewage treatment plants.
“The Housing and Local Government Ministry has made it mandatory for all eateries to install, service and desludge grease traps at their premises as a requirement for renewing their business licences.
“Yet, we still find cases of FOG being disposed of into the sewerage system or drainage by eateries.
“Even worse, some contractors hired by these businesses take the easy way out and dispose of FOG into the sewage pipes illegally,” said Tuan Ibrahim at the launch of Indah Water Konsortium’s (IWK) grease trap desludging services for eateries.

KUALA LUMPUR: Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia (SC) menggesa orang ramai agar berhati-hati terhadap penggunaan Mesin Juruwang Automatik Kripto (ATM Kripto).
ATM Kripto adalah mesin yang membolehkan individu membeli atau menjual aset digital secara tunai, kad debit, kredit atau e-dompet.
Mesin sedemikian ada di pelbagai lokasi di Malaysia dan membolehkan pertukaran pelbagai jenis aset digital dengan mata wang fiat dan sebaliknya.
SC dalam kenyataannya memberi peringatan kepada orang ramai bahawa entiti yang mengendalikan ATM Kripto dianggap mengendalikan Bursa Aset Digital (DAX) yang perlu berdaftar dengannya.
"Setakat ini, SC belum mendaftarkan mana-mana entiti untuk mengendalikan ATM Kripto," katanya.
SC juga ingin mengingatkan bahawa orang awam yang berurusan dengan entiti atau individu yang tidak berlesen atau tidak sah adalah tidak dilindungi di bawah undang-undang sekuriti Malaysia dan terdedah kepada pelbagai risiko termasuk penipuan dan pengubahan wang haram.

PEMINJAM yang masih terkesan dari segi kewangan dan mungkin memerlukan kemudahan penyusunan serta penjadualan, digesa agar mendapatkan bantuan awal dan bersasar menjelang berakhirnya tempoh moratorium 30 September ini.
Menteri Kewangan, Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz (gambar) berkata, langkah itu dapat dibuat dengan menghubungi institusi kewangan masing-masing atau Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK) bagi mendapat khidmat nasihat.
"Sehingga 6 Julai 2020, nilai moratorium bayaran balik pinjaman institusi kewangan dianggarkan berjumlah RM51.4 bilion. Daripada angka itu, RM17.9 bilion adalah jumlah yang dimanfaatkan sektor perniagaan manakala jumlah dimanfaatkan rakyat bernilai RM33.38 bilion.
"Walaupun hanya bersifat sementara, pemberian moratorium ini dilaksanakan pada masa tepat dan dapat membantu golongan terjejas terutama yang kehilangan sumber pendapatan.
"Ini dapat meringankan bebanan kewangan dan membantu isi rumah terjejas untuk meneruskan kehidupan tanpa perlu risau memikirkan komitmen hutang," katanya.
Sementara itu, Tengku Zafrul berkata, di bawah pelaksanaan Prihatin, kerajaan memperkenalkan pembayaran bersifat one-off dan ia mencatatkan kadar yang tinggi.
"Pemberian tunai secara one-off seperti bantuan kepada pelajar institusi pengajian tinggi, pemandu e-hailing dan teksi dan pesara kerajaan membabitkan pembayaran sebanyak RM14.3 bilion, dengan tahap pencapaian pelaksanaan 91 peratus," katanya.

PORT KLANG, July 8 — The Energy Commission (ST) and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) raided two cryptocurrency business premises in Taman Pendamar Indah here on suspicion of electricity theft.
The two-hour Ops Bitcoin raid, which began at about 9am, was conducted by 40 TNB Special Engagement Against Losses (SEAL) staff together with 12 Klang Municipal Council (MPK) enforcement officers and 15 ST personnel.
ST Enforcement Planning and Coordination Unit director Ir Shafie Mohamed said that a month-long investigation conducted by TNB found illegal wiring in place to supply electricity to the premises.
“This illegal wiring was installed so that electricity was supplied directly and not through the TNB metre. It is estimated that the premises have been operating for the past three months,” he told reporters after the raid here today.
Also present was MPK deputy president Elya Marini Darmin.
Shafie said the TNB incurred an estimated RM30,000 in losses per month from premises engaged in electricity theft.
“The case is being investigated under Section 37 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990 and, if found guilty, they could be fined and sentenced to jail,” he said.
Elya Marini, meanwhile, said the MPK had identified 21 premises around the municipality’s administration area which carried out electricity theft.
