JOHOR BAHRU: Seorang juruteknik kerugian RM167,147.75 selepas mendakwa dirinya diperdayakan kenalan daripada Facebook yang menawarkan skim pelaburan perniagaan dalam talian dengan keuntungan 20 peratus daripada modal dilaburkan.

Ketua Polis Daerah Seri Alam Supt Mohd Sohaimi Ishak berkata lelaki berusia 36 tahun itu memaklumkan dia hanya perlu mendaftar melalui pautan yang diberikan dan mengambil tempahan daripada pelanggan, sebelum membuat pembayaran dengan mendahulukan wang miliknya.

"Mangsa yang tertarik dengan kaedah yang mudah serta pulangan lumayan telah melakukan 21 transaksi bayaran secara dalam talian ke 14 akaun bank berbeza berjumlah RM167,147.75, pada 29 April hingga 23 Jun lepas.

"Pembayaran terbabit adalah bagi tempahan barangan yang mangsa kumpulkan daripada pelanggan secara dalam talian," katanya dalam kenyataan hari ini.

Niaga SPOTLIGHT: Costing The Silent Threat of Obesity

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Malaysia are a growing burden on the health system, with a number of associated health issues and economic costs.

The annual cost of healthcare for NCDs is estimated to be over RM 9.65 billion. Meanwhile, the cost of disability and loss of healthy life years is estimated to be around RM 100.79 billion. Absenteeism due to NCDs is estimated to cost the Malaysian economy RM 2.6 billion annually.

From the common NCDs, obesity is one of THE most significant health threats, with nearly 20% of the Malaysian population currently classified as obese.

Additionally, more than half of all adults (54%) are overweight or obese. According to the World Obesity Atlas, this figure could rise to 41% in Malaysia by 2035, if preventive action is not taken.
