Special task force set up to tackle money game issues


SHAH ALAM: A special task force comprising Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), the police as well as the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK) has been formed to tackle issues arising from get-rich-quick schemes, said Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Lee Chee Leong.

“Undeniably, some of the existing laws are insufficient to deal with these issues because there are flaws,” said Lee, adding that re-examining existing laws and legislating new ones should be done as well.
