Malaysian police raid online scam centres in Johor, arrest 335 people

Malaysian police conducted raids in Forest City, Johor, targeting online scam operations, resulting in the arrest of 335 individuals and the seizure of assets valued at approximately 1 million ringgit (US$245,000). The operation, carried out on July 15, focused on two areas known for hosting fraudulent call centers. Among those detained were 309 Chinese nationals, 19 Indonesians, three Malaysians, and four Myanmar citizens. The scams primarily involved investment and love frauds targeting international victims, mainly from China and Indonesia. The Forest City development, a $100 billion project by Chinese developer Country Garden Holdings and a Malaysian company linked to the royal family, has faced numerous environmental and regulatory challenges since its 2016 launch.
