Malaysia Land Scam Probe: Actress and Husband Remanded Over RM1.5 Million Fraud Case
Couple investigated after victim allegedly paid for non-existent state land lots
Malaysian police have detained an actress and her husband in connection with an alleged land scam that reportedly caused losses of RM1.5 million to a victim.
Couple Remanded for Investigation
An actress and her husband have been remanded for three days to assist police investigations into an alleged land scam involving the sale of non-existent alienated land lots.
The remand order for the 35-year-old woman and her 41-year-old husband was issued by Magistrate Nurul Azuin Mohd Talhah.
Arrest in Hulu Langat
The couple arrived at the Magistrate’s Court at around 9.18am wearing purple lock-up attire and were escorted by police officers.
Seremban district police chief ACP Azahar Abdul Rahim said the suspects were arrested earlier in a village in Batu 11, Hulu Langat, Selangor.
Victim Reported RM1.5 Million Loss
Police said the investigation began after a report was lodged by a 56-year-old former businessman.
The complainant alleged he had been deceived in a deal to obtain alienated land from the Selangor state government.
Hundreds of Transactions Made
According to police, the victim had dealings with the suspects between September 2023 and November 2025.
During that period, he reportedly carried out 195 financial transactions linked to the alleged land purchase.
Investigation Under Fraud Laws
Authorities estimate the victim suffered total losses of RM1.5 million from the suspected scheme.
The case is being investigated under Section 420 of Malaysia’s Penal Code, which covers cheating and fraud offences.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about land-related fraud schemes in Malaysia, where victims may be misled by promises of access to government-linked property. Police investigations are continuing as authorities work to determine the full details of the alleged scam.
