Malaysia's boldest takes on news, entertainment and buzz.
Myanmar's military-backed parliament has passed legislation authorising capital punishment for those who use forced labour and abuse in cyber-scam operations, part of broader regional efforts to combat transnational online fraud networks.
Myanmar authorities arrested four Chinese nationals operating an online scam and gambling ring from Muse Township in Shan State. The raid recovered 34 mobile phones and computer equipment used in cross-border fraud operations.
Malaysia's online fraud losses have nearly doubled to RM2.97 billion in 2025, according to the Home Ministry, with fake investment schemes accounting for the majority of losses across the country.
