LANGKAWI: Beijing’s proposal to put an end to online scam syndicates in Asean that have ensnared thousands in what the authorities have labelled cyber-slavery, will be discussed at the Asean Foreign Minister’s Retreat (AMM) today, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hassan.
“We will discuss it tomorrow (Jan 19). Today (Jan 18) is just a courtesy call and we touched base on how to strengthen the Asean family,” said the Foreign Minister when asked about China’s call to tackle the scourge together with Asean.
