Malaysia arrests scores over China, Taiwan scam

(AFP) – 1 hour ago

KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia arrested 83 people mostly from China and Taiwan over a huge scam that netted billions of dollars, a day after authorities busted a major betting and fraud ring, according to police.

The suspects -- 75 Taiwanese, six Chinese and two Malaysians -- were held during raids on four bungalows in Serdang on the outskirts of capital Kuala Lumpur Friday, said federal commercial crime director Syed Ismail Syed Azizan.

They are under investigation for running a fraud scheme, cheating people in China and Taiwan out of billions of dollars by calling them to settle phony credit card or other bank charges.

"We believe there is local involvement in this case," Syed Ismail said, adding all the suspects were under detention and the foreigners, who came to Malaysia in early March, faced deportation.

Last year the syndicate is believed to have netted $3 billion in China alone with the scam, said Syed Ismail, who said he had been informed of the amount by Chinese police.

The group originated in Macau but is believed to operate from other Southeast Asian countries such as Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, Syed Ismail said.

The arrests followed a separate bust on Thursday in Kajang, near Kuala Lumpur, of a football betting and fraud ring that police say could have raked in up to $1.3 billion.

Police held about 150 people, almost all from China and Taiwan, following the Thursday raid. The arrests are the latest indication of rampant illegal sports betting in Asia.

Syed Ismail said the Serdang syndicate targeted Friday was not involved in football betting but that police had to move quickly after the Kajang raid.

He said Malaysian police had worked with their Taiwanese counterparts to monitor the group. When police arrived, the suspects were already getting ready to vacate three of the four houses.

Dozens of other people were arrested in another raid earlier this year in northern Penang state and two raids last year in relation to the group that originated in Macau, Syed Ismail said.

This is nothing compared to what's going on in China, where the soccer gambling is 100 times bigger and every match is fixed. This is the reason why China can't go to the World Cup or Olympic Soccer matches, because Chinese soccer is corrupted at all levels by the gambling money, and the bribery by players themselves.

I keep saying that China could not become a developed country without a democracy and the rule of law, because corruptions prevent advances. The failure of Chinese soccer is the most glaring example.

Yeah. amny high level CPC members are eying to fly to west after staling money from poor chinese. It's also the same reason why chinese students are eagered to get into foreign universities and never come back after tasting Democracy.

Military rule prevented "tall" Koreans from being good at basketball.

Don't mind him. For the last few day, he has been a one man army, spreading lies and half truths against China. Clearly he has an agenda here. Perhaps it's better for everybody, Imaging he has a gun and roaming the streets of New York?

lol```this clueless thing
indian high caste owners dont have to go abroad to stealing money from 90% poor indians, they just do it in India, because low caste people can do nothing about it, but to delude themselves

Korean soccer fixing scandal was caused by a handful of no-name benchwarmers(Not the players who are aces and make $$$ or make the national squad) who took the money from Chinese gambling bookies who were taking bets on Korean league matches. None of coaches or other managers were involved. The punishment was swift and severe; they were forever banned from ever playing professional games again anywhere on earth. The severity of punishment is strong enough for even the benchwarmers to take money from Chinese bookies now, and this is how you clean up house.

koreans are known to be corrupt at all levels even with its so called democracy.

If that's the case, then Korea would never have become the developed country. You already have seen what corruption does to a country like China, problems that doesn't exist in Korea.

The 'Korean' always use south korea to teach china a lesson. but in our opinion, we dont think korea is a model for china. china have several good examples in chinese society. for democracy, we can learn from taiwan; for freedom, we can learn from hongkong. for how to deal with the corrupted officials, singapore and HK are also good teachers. korea? in china, is just a previous Vassal country.

My intention is to teach Pakistani posters about the truth nature of China, why it is bad for Pakistan's interest to form an alliance with China in the long run.

but in our opinion, we dont think korea is a model for china. china have several good examples in chinese society. for democracy, we can learn from taiwan;

Indeed, do learn from Taiwan. Taiwan is at least a functional democracy on its way to becoming a full democracy. The western human rights activists wouldn't criticize China if China had a Taiwan like democracy.

you intention is evil. why dont you show the true nature of india!

Indeed, do run from Taiwan. Taiwan is at least a functional democracy on its way to becoming a full democracy. The western human rights activities wouldn't criticize China if China had a Taiwan like democracy.

You are not from Korea! For sure!
Why the west criticises China so intensively is not on the issue of human rights bull dungs. india's human rights records are much worse.
do you know there are incidences of shootings by the government on its people and curfews and riots happening in india every day? I am not even quoting their horrible social ills which are incurable!
