Expressing his worry about the rampant rise in scam cases, PKR communications chief Lee Chean Chung described the delay of banks and authorities in acting on this issue as a form of cruelty.

He also gave the example of renowned nephrologist Dr Rafidah Abdullah, who recently shared that she had also been a victim of a scam, where RM13,000 of her savings had disappeared from her bank account without needing any TAC code.
