PETALING JAYA: Star Media Group Berhad, which publishes The Star print products and online portal, refers to a scam site misusing The Star's brand identity.
It has come to the group’s attention that a fraudulent site is impersonating The Star with a fake article.
In the fake article headlined "Jeffrey Cheah has been arrested after an interview", it is claimed that Sunway Group founder and chairman Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah was arrested after he revealed details of his personal income on live TV.
The false write-up went on to claim that the interview caught the attention of the police and caused a high-profile backlash.
The group wishes to clarify that the aforementioned Facebook Pages or fake site is not affiliated with The Star’s official social media platforms or web presence in any way.
Please do not interact with these scam websites, Facebook pages or suspicious advertisements, nor join the programmes they are promoting.
The Star – which Reuters named one of the most trusted sources of news in Malaysia – publishes on its official website thestar.com.my.
