A local actress and her husband have been remanded for three days to assist in an investigation into an alleged land scam
According to Harian Metro, the scam reportedly caused losses of RM1.5 million to a 56-year-old retired businessman.
The actress, known for her role in the drama Nur, and her husband were brought to the Seremban Magistrate's Court today, 5 March, in connection with the case.
The 30-year-old actress and her 40-year-old husband were detained yesterday at a madrasah in Hulu Langat, Selangor
Their arrest followed a police report lodged in the Seremban district over the alleged scam.
As she was led into the courtroom, the actress spoke briefly to members of the press.
"Write what is right, okay? Do not write stories that are not authentic. Thank you," she said.
Seremban district police chief Azahar Abdul Rahim confirmed that Magistrate Nurul Azuin Mohd Talhah allowed a three-day remand for both suspects.
Authorities are investigating the case under Section 420 of the Penal Code for fraud
The main victim is a 56-year-old retired businessman who previously operated in the property development sector.
He alleged that he was misled by a friend into buying state-granted land in Cheras.
According to police, the victim made several transactions starting in September 2023 to secure the promised lots.
The funds were allegedly transferred into bank accounts belonging to the suspect's wife and his father, totalling RM1.5 million
Before the official arrest, a beauty entrepreneur shared her experience on the social media platform Threads, claiming she had also been defrauded.
She said she lost RM300,000 to the actress and suggested others had lost even larger sums. Her post included screenshots of what appeared to be the suspect's identity card and messages from other alleged victims.
These claims circulated widely online while the actress was reportedly in hiding before the police intervened.
Azahar advised the public to remain patient and allow the police to conduct a transparent investigation. He cautioned social media users against making statements that could potentially interfere with the ongoing legal process.
