Scammer fails in bid to con Chua’s mum


Festival ritual: Chua distributing angpow to the Labis community during the Labis MCA division Chinese New Year open house in Bekok, Johor.

LABIS: MCA vice-president Datuk Chua Tee Yong has become the latest victim of scammers after his mother received a call from a “police officer” purporting that he was detained at the Pudu police station after drugs were found in his car.

“It is questionable how a scammer managed to not only obtain and clone my previous contact number which was already deactivated, but also obtain my mother’s contact number,” Chua told reporters during his Chinese New Year open house here yesterday.
