Credit card blocked but Bank not aware

cckkpr — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 15:05:14 +0800

Yesterday I tried to buy something from Shopee by credit card but was flagged card expired!

But my card was only renewed recently for a few years. I tried the Add Card option but it said not valid.

I then called Tiger Bank and ask what’s the problem? The officer told me my card is active n should not have a problem. She then asked me whether I tried to pay Facebook advertisement for RM2300. I said no. She then passed my call to her senior who said that the purported failed RM2300 payment showed that my card was compromised and asked to cancel the card. A replacement will be sent asap.

What prompt Shopee to deactivate the card n how did they know someone tried to pay Facebook but failed. Apple wallet subsequent also deactivate on their own.

Wah, technology now very terror now, can protect your account from scammed at other platforms.

We have funny Ministers here proposing nonsensical ideas. Even if you can see the submarines, what can we do?
If such submarines appear, most likely it’s from China n we cannot do anything about it. We will most probably be chased away.

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 7): Industrial paint and coating maker Smart Asia Chemical Bhd plans to list on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia to fund the establishment of a new factory in Perak to quadruple its annual manufacturing capacity.
The company’s initial public offering (IPO) will involve the issuance of 93.5 million shares, with 62.91 million shares or 67.28% allocated under the institutional offering and 30.59 million shares or 32.72% for the retail offering, according to its draft prospectus exposure released on Bursa Malaysia on Tuesday.
By way of private placement, 46.23 million shares are earmarked for Bumiputera investors as approved by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry, while another 16.68 million are for selected investors.

Under the retail offering, 18.49 million shares would be made available to the Malaysian public, followed by 12.1 million shares for eligible directors, employees and persons who have contributed to the success of the group.
Proceeds garnered from the listing exercise are to be used to establish the new plant in Perak, purchase accompanying equipment, fund working capital, as well as defray the listing exercise expenses.
Smart Asia said the new plant is expected to increase its annual manufacturing capacity for decorative paints and protective coatings by 27 million litres or 309.99% to 35.71 million litres, from 8.71 million litres in the financial year ended Dec 31, 2022 (FY2022).
“Our Perak plant will also allow us to expand our customer base within the central and northern regions of [Peninsular] Malaysia due to closer proximity to our customers,” the company added.
For FY2022, Smart Asia posted a profit after tax (PAT) of RM8.61 million, down from RM10.69 million for FY2021. It logged a PAT of RM7.44 million for FY2020.
Its top line was largely flat at RM79.22 million for FY2022, when compared with the RM79.77 million achieved a year earlier. For FY2020, it posted a revenue of RM71.6 million.
The 93.5 million shares offered under the IPO represent 25.28% of the group’s expected enlarged share base of 369.85 million shares.
The IPO’s promoters, managing director Goh Chye Hin and his wife and non-independent executive director Kee Hui Lang, are expected to have their direct stakes in the company pared to 44.5% for Goh and 7.51% for Kee.
Based on Smart Asia's current share base of 276.35 million shares, Goh currently owns a 59.55% stake in the company, while Kee owns 10.05%.
Meanwhile, the 3.62% indirect stake they hold via their children is expected to be diluted to 2.7%.
Mercury Securities Sdn Bhd is the principal adviser, sponsor, underwriter, and placement agent for the IPO.

Khairy to be next BAM President?

Khairy may be next BAM President

KUALA LUMPUR: Critic Datuk James Selvaraj picked former Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar as the most suitable candidate to replace Tan Sri Norza Zakaria as the new president of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM).

Khairy and International Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz are among the names proposed for the job.

Norza will step down as BAM president later this year.

James said although Khairy and Tengku Zafrul have their expertise, the former is more suitable for the BAM top post.

"Khairy was the sports minister before, and his experience will be good for BAM if he becomes president," said James.

"He has charisma and is compatible with sports.

"Khairy is a sportsperson and knows a lot of people in the industry. We heard Norza has two or three candidates for the job. Before this, some had said former world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei was the other candidate.

In a move that underscores DBS Bank India's commitment to the country, the bank has announced its partnership with five exceptional badminton stars – Lakshya Sen, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, Chirag Shetty, Treesa Jolly, and Gayatri Gopichand.

The partnership has kicked off with an outdoor campaign and it will be extended to the bank's social media platforms, official website, internal platforms, as well as throughout its branch network, targeting both customers and employees.

Commenting on the partnership, Shoma Narayanan, Managing Director - Group Strategic Marketing & Communications at DBS Bank India, said, “DBS Bank continues to break boundaries and reimagine banking; we like to think of ourselves as a different kind of bank, rather than fitting into the conventional notions of a 'traditional bank'.

These players epitomise our core values both on and off the court, making them perfect partners to champion our brand. With this association, we aim to dial up customer engagement in India and bolster the narrative around our unique phy-gital proposition, suite of offerings, and strong Asian connectivity.”

Ramakrishnan R, Co-Founder and Director, Baseline Ventures added, “DBS Bank has always been a trusted partner, for small and large businesses as well as retail customers.
