CIMB has claimed that a processing error by a remittance service led to fund transfers made to customers being wrongly credited twice.
GEORGE TOWN: CIMB has countersued 12 parties suing the bank over what it described as “unjust enrichment” stemming from a processing error that left their accounts frozen and in debt.

In a court filing on March 30, the bank also asked for an order for all 12 to repay RM1.39 million wrongly credited into their accounts, plus interest.

In February, CIMB claimed a processing error by a remittance service led to fund transfers made to customers being wrongly credited twice.

The bank earmarked affected accounts to recover the duplicate sums, which led to accounts being frozen.

Then, on Feb 28, 12 affected account holders filed a suit against the bank for the error as they felt it was the bank’s fault, not the customers.

In a statement of defence sighted by FMT, CIMB said it had not violated any contract with its account holders as they were free to debit or put on hold any account as they wished — as it was part of the terms and conditions agreed to by the bank users.

Hence, in January, the bank said an “operational hold” had been placed on affected accounts. It was later lifted on Feb 13. However, it did not say how many accounts were affected.

CIMB said as a result of the duplicate credits, the account holders had been “unjustly enriched” at the bank’s expense.

The bank said the 12 suing parties did not alert them when additional, duplicate funds were transferred into their accounts.

CIMB said it was allowed to recover the duplicate sum as it was legally and contractually entitled to.

“The plaintiffs were able to receive funds in their respective accounts and/or make withdrawal of funds in excess of the amount of the duplicate credits received by each plaintiff.

“The plaintiffs have received and enjoyed, and have been enriched by way of the duplicate credits that were mistakenly credited into the plaintiffs’ accounts by reason of the inadvertent processing error of MoneySend transfers as pleaded,” the defence statement read.

FMT has contacted MasterCard, which provides the MoneySend service for comment.

Those suing are: Ahmad Sharil Nor Rasit, 42, Azwani Aziz, 39, Nor Amirah Suria, 26, Nor Sazliana Sazali, 31, Mukmin Mohd Ibrahim, 34, Siti Roziana Abdullah, 26, Haris Fadhillah Yaacob, 28, Azizi Aziz, 34, Azizul Aziz, 40, and three companies — Ai Smart Perfect Services, Ai Smart PS Trade and Harmonian Altra Trading.

CIMB Bank Bhd and CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd are named as defendants in the suit.

The bank had said the problem involved “a limited number of customers that undertook international to local transfers”, and pledged to offer a fair and managed resolution to affected customers.

Zahid daughter agree with lecturer about B20

PETALING JAYA: Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s daughter Nurul Hidayah has defended Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) lecturer Roshana Takim’s action of scolding a student who did not have a computer.

Taking to Instagram, the former deputy prime minister’s daughter also said students should not have uploaded the recording of the online session on social media in the first place.

Hidayah lamented the attitude of students nowadays, taking to social media to share clips of them getting scolded by their lecturers.

“They should instead overcome their sadness and frustration and use the experience to motivate themselves to do better.

“If you are angry with the boss, will you take it to social media too? Do you think employers will hire workers like that? Every little thing is uploaded on social media these days,” she wrote.

Defending the lecturer, Hidayah felt that Roshana did not insult the B40 group but had only used a rude tone because she was disappointed with the particular student’s attitude.

“In my opinion, the professor was angry because the student did not have a computer although he was already in semester five. Yes, people are struggling but as a student, he should be responsible too.

“I also had lecturers that I did not like but I did not embarrass them in public. Being a lecturer, of course she had to scold the student who she felt was not serious about his studies,” she said.

Hidayah said many B40 children are very successful and have shown motivation to achieve their dreams.

“Many students who have lost their parents at a young age have also studied hard and become successful. And there are those who work part-time to be able to afford a laptop.

“There are also NGOs, government agencies and elected representatives, among others, who help buy computers for those who cannot afford it,” she said.

Earlier today, netizens criticised the lecturer’s action after a video of her admonishing the student for not having a computer during the online lecture went viral.

She said she did not like to teach students from the B40 category as they did not seem to show interest in their studies.

“If you have a sister and she has a gold bracelet, tell her to sell that and buy you a computer. You can’t learn properly when you have no computer,” the lecturer told him, adding that it only costs RM800 to get a computer.

He had earlier responded to her questions about his family, answering that his father was unemployed and his mother had passed away.

KUALA LUMPUR (March 10): Capital A Bhd (formerly known as AirAsia Group Bhd) is unable to obtain the RM500 million club facility under Danajamin Nasional Bhd’s Prihatin Guarantee Scheme as its founders, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, have refused to become guarantors.

On top of that, the low cost carrier, which is in midst of its recapitalisation exercise, was not able to meet Danajamin’s requirement for it to submit a regularisation plan and obtain approval from Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd to remedy its negative shareholder equity to be above RM40 million and 25% of its share capital or obtain a time extension to provide the regularisation plan from the exchange for the same tenure as the Danajamin club facility.

KUALA LUMPUR – As hinted by Capital A CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes yesterday, AirAsia Malaysia will be reintroducing fuel surcharges from March 8 onwards, between RM10 and RM60, for all its domestic and international flights.

Customers are expected to foot an extra RM10 for each domestic flight while a surcharge of RM25 to RM60 applies to international flights.

The fuel surcharges will be applicable for new flight bookings made on and after March 8. All bookings made prior to March 8 will not be affected.

“The reintroduction of the fuel surcharge by AirAsia is to offset the escalating jet fuel prices, which has exceeded US$120 per barrel,” it said in a statement today.

The company added that it has not been implementing fuel surcharges since they were abolished in 2015, but instead absorbed the oil price increase over the years.

“Other carriers were already adjusting fares and increasing fuel and admin charges to counter rising operating costs as early as 2018.”

In addition, AirAsia Malaysia CEO Riad Asmat said the rising oil prices are caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and other external factors.

“Unfortunately, the current situation where the oil price has shot up more than 160% than what it was in 2015 has made it no longer sustainable. We hope this will only be a temporary measure.

“We will continue to monitor the situation and at the same time capitalise on technological and digital innovations as ways to keep costs at bay and make air travel affordable for everyone.”

AirAsia first introduced fuel surcharge in 2005 and abolished it in 2008, and later reintroduced it in 2011. – The Vibes, March 5, 2022

Six MACC advisory board members say chairman went rogue by clearing Azam Baki
Saturday, 08 Jan 2022 04:19 PM MYT

IPOH, Jan 8 — Six members of the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board (ACAB) today clarified that a recent statement by chairman Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang on Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Azam Baki was his personal point of view.

The six — Tan Sri Ismail Omar, Datuk Seri Azman Ujang, Datuk Seri Akhbar Satar, Datuk Hamzah Kassim, Datuk David Chua Kok Te and Prof Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff — said that the Abu Zahar’s statement did not reflect the decision of the board as a whole.

“During his press conference, Abu Zahar said that after a lengthy discussion following a meeting with Azam on November 24 that the board found that Azam did not have any pecuniary or beneficial interest on the issue of purchased shares of the amount reported.

“Abu Zahar said that the board was satisfied with the explanation given by Azam. He further said there was no crime committed or conflict of interest in the matter.

“We categorically wish to state that the board members at that meeting or at any time thereafter did not express such opinion as Abu Zahar attributed to,” they said in a statement.

They also said that the members of the board had a separate discussion with Abu Zahar prior to the press conference.

“We proposed that the matter be further referred to any of the following panels and committees, namely the Independent Committee, the Parliamentary Special Committee on Corruption or MACC’s Complaints Panel,” they said.

However, the six said that their views and proposals were not raised during Abu Zahar’s press conference.

“The ACAB has no investigation power as it is established as an Advisory Board.

“We need to provide this clarification in order to safeguard the integrity of the board and the institution,” they said.

Over the past month, reports emerged alleging that Azam owned a substantial amount of shares in several publicly-listed companies.

Azam, in a press conference on Wednesday, said he had explained to the ACAB that his share account had been used by his brother to buy stocks in the open market with the latter’s own financing.

UALA LUMPUR: Supermax Corp shares sank after the US Customs and Border Protection ordered personnel at US ports of entry to seize its latex gloves made in Malaysia.

The stock slid as much as 9.8% to RM2.03 in the local bourse here today to the lowest level since May last year.

Trading volume was almost 17 times the 20-day average for this time of day. Shares of other glove makers Top Glove Corp and Hartalega Holdings Bhd also declined.

The US CBP said today that it issued the withhold release order against Supermax and units based on information that “reasonably indicates” the use of forced labour.

The company makes up to 24 billion pieces of gloves annually, meeting about 12% of the world demand for gloves.

Malaysia’s palm oil and rubber glove producers have grappled with intense scrutiny from US authorities over poor labour practices.

The CBP previously banned imports from FGV Holdings Bhd and Sime Darby Plantation Bhd and last month allowed Top Glove Corp, the world’s largest rubber glover maker, to resume shipments to the US after a year-long ban on its products.

The CBP identified 10 of the 11 International Labour Organization’s indicators of forced labour while investigating Supermax, the agency said in a statement.

On-trial Zahid asks court to return passport so he can go to Germany to treat neck, back pain
Thursday, 07 Oct 2021 11:12 AM MYT

BY IDA LIM

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 ― Former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is seeking the temporary release of his impounded passport so he can travel to Germany for medical treatment.

His lawyer Hamidi Mohd Noh made the application in the High Court here today, saying his client needed to be treated for his pain from a leading specialist in Munich, Germany

“Because the accused has been suffering from back pain and neck pain from before

“We are making this application to allow the accused treatment to the effect where it is effective and that is required,” he said, adding that the current pain treatment available in Malaysia was not enough for Ahmad Zahid.

https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/202...o-treat/2011447

He noted that Ahmad Zahid has been treated around 2013, 2014 and 2016 for such pain, saying: “And the current regime of pain intervention in Malaysia is not sufficient for him, he’s still suffering a lot, and as Yang Arif has already heard from the doctor treating him here, that the pain is not manageable and that he requires certain intervention by his consulting physician.”

The application was filed on October 4, and came up for case management today.

Deputy public prosecutor Gan Peng Kun told the court that “the prosecution has instructions not to object to the application”.

Judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah said he would make an order on this application next Monday.

Sequerah is also the trial judge presiding over Ahmad Zahid’s 47-criminal charge case, and is expected to continue hearing arguments from the prosecution on Monday on why Ahmad Zahid should be called to enter his defence over the criminal charges.

The 47 charges that Ahmad Zahid is facing here are 12 counts of criminal breach of trust in relation to charitable foundation Yayasan Akalbudi’s funds, 27 counts of money-laundering, and eight counts of bribery charges.

Hamidi told the court that a similar application for passport release has also been made to the High Court in Shah Alam, where Ahmad Zahid is facing a separate corruption trial involving 40 charges.

Ahmad Zahid’s lawyers will be going to the High Court in Shah Alam first on Monday morning for the passport release application there, before coming to the High Court in Kuala Lumpur on Monday afternoon for the passport release application and the continued hearing for the trial.

Later when asked by reporters, Hamidi confirmed that the application is for the passport to be released on October 26, and to be returned on November 21.

Previously, Ahmad Zahid was said to have suffered a fall on August 18, and was admitted to a private hospital on August 22 due to injuries from the fall and was discharged on August 26. He was also on medical leave until September 4.

On August 24 which was when Ahmad Zahid’s trial in the High Court in Kuala Lumpur was scheduled to continue, he was not present in court, with his lawyer explaining that he could not attend due to severe neck pain and could not sit for a long time.

Ahmad Zahid’s doctor later told the court that his client had on August 24 undergone treatment for his pain and disagreed that his client had faked his illness to avoid attending court.

Ahmad Zahid’s passport had been surrendered to the courts since he was first charged in October 2018.

Back in 2019, Ahmad Zahid had also applied to the court for the temporary return of his passport to enable him to travel to Saudi Arabia between May 9 and June 3 to perform umrah or for a Muslim pilgrimage trip.

But the High Court on May 3, 2019 had rejected the application then as such a trip was not compulsory and as Ahmad Zahid was facing serious charges in the trial, with the Court of Appeal on May 14, 2019 and the Federal Court on May 23, 2019 also dismissing his appeals against the High Court’s decision.

KERATAN AKHBAR PILIHAN: PENULARAN COVID-19, KOMPAUN JIKA KE LANGKAWI TAK GUNA KHIDMAT AGENSI PELANCONGAN

Kuala Lumpur, 23 September 2021 - Polis akan mengeluarkan kompaun terhadap mana-mana pihak yang dikesan melakukan perjalanan rentas negeri tanpa kebenaran, sekiranya ditahan ketika menuju ke Langkawi tanpa menggunakan khidmat agensi pelancongan yang ditetapkan.

Ini kerana kebenaran menggunakan perjalanan darat untuk aktiviti pelancongan ke Langkawi, perlu melalui khidmat agensi pelancongan ditetapkan merangkumi tempat penginapan, lokasi tumpuan dan aktiviti perjalanan sepanjang berada di pulau berkenaan.

Ketua Polis Negara, IG Dato' Sri Acryl Sani Hj. Abdullah Sani berkata, peringatan itu bagi mengelakkan orang ramai terkilan jika diarahkan berpatah balik ketika melalui sekatan jalan raya (SJR) ketika dalam perjalanan ke jeti di Kuala Kedah atau Kuala Perlis untuk ke Langkawi.

Beliau berkata, tujuan utama khidmat pelancongan digunakan adalah untuk mengelakkan orang ramai mengambil kesempatan menuju ke lokasi lain ketika dalam perjalanan ke jeti di Kuala Kedah dan Kuala Perlis, sekiranya mereka datang dari Lembah Klang, Pantai Timur dan selatan tanah air.

"Masih ada pihak yang tidak memahami syarat-syarat yang ditetapkan oleh Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN) melalui gelembung pelancongan untuk bercuti ke Langkawi dan saya ingin mengingatkan bahawa setiap pergerakan melalui jalan darat ke Langkawi, perlu menggunakan khidmat agensi pelancongan," katanya.

MELAKA: A police sergeant was fined RM20,000 by the Sessions Court here today on an alternative charge of receiving RM4,000 from a woman in connection with a drug case last year.

Judge Mohd Nasir Nordin fined Mohd Azani Mohd Khalid, 34, who was attached to the Alor Gajah district police headquarters’ Narcotics CID, after he changed his plea to guilty when the case came up for mention today.

The court also ordered Azani, a father of two, to serve six months in jail if he failed to pay the fine.

He had received RM4,000 in cash from a woman along Jalan Bidara Permai 5, Taman Bidara Permai, Pengkalan Balak, Masjid Tanah, Alor Gajah, at 1.30pm, on Oct 9 last year.

According to the facts of the case, on Oct 4, 2019, the accused, as the investigating officer in a drug case, had contacted a woman, whose son was being investigated under Section 15 (1) (a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, to inform her that her son had been remanded until Oct 7, 2019.

The policeman said the suspect could be released if he was paid RM4,000.

He refused to reduce the amount and said he would come to the woman’s residence on Oct 9 to pick up the money.
