4-11-2023 (KUALA LUMPUR) The co-founder of MYAirline, Datuk Allan Goh, is now under investigation regarding the loss of RM81 million linked to an investment scheme. This comes in the wake of the MYAirline controversy.
The police have initiated a fresh investigation into Goh following 67 police reports related to the i-Serve investment scheme.
The Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Director, Commissioner Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf, stated that the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for fraud.
Ramli was quoted by Bernama as saying, “The reports were lodged by individuals who invested in i-Serve. The losses are estimated to be RM81,609,900, and we urge anyone who is a victim of this investment scheme to come forward and lodge police reports.” He made this statement during a media conference.
Previously, Goh, the co-founder of the airline, and seven other individuals, including the company’s lawyer and shareholders, had been remanded to assist with investigations under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. Subsequently, they were released on police bail.
In another development, Commissioner Ramli advised Malaysians who wish to donate to Palestinians to verify the credibility of the representatives handling the donations to avoid potential scams.
Although the police have not received any reports regarding such fraudulent activities, he did not rule out the possibility of unscrupulous individuals attempting to take advantage of the current Palestinian crisis and the generosity of Malaysians.
He stated, “There are no specific laws controlling the collection of donations for disasters not managed by the government. As a precautionary measure, the police urge those involved in collecting donations to be registered and supervised by a government agency.”
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission had previously confirmed that it was investigating an NGO conducting a donation drive for Palestinians on October 24.
