Malaysian public anger grows after scam kingpin is released
The alleged scam kingpin was freed after paying a 10 million ringgit fine, about US$2.4 million, amid allegations of preferential treatment.
SCMP Economy reports that public outrage has flared in Malaysia after an alleged scam kingpin was released following payment of a 10 million ringgit fine, roughly US$2.4 million.
The outlet says the backlash centers on claims the man received preferential treatment, linked to a controversial photo op with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
SCMP Economy notes that the development has also raised questions among observers about whether money laundering charges were dropped for the individual.
