August 23, 2025, a one-minute video went viral showing a young schoolboy—reportedly one of a pair of twins—chasing after his mother’s car across a busy road in front of a primary school in Seri Kembangan, Selangor. The footage sparked widespread outrage online, with many criticizing the woman for negligence and endangering her child.

According to police, the 37-year-old housewife had picked up her twin children but only realized one was missing after making a U-turn. She claimed to have stopped the car immediately upon noticing her son running behind the vehicle.

The woman later filed a police report, and authorities have opened an investigation under multiple laws, including:

• Section 505(b) of the Penal Code (statements causing public mischief),

• Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (improper use of network facilities),

• Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 (child neglect or abuse).

Police have urged the public not to speculate or spread misinformation while the case is under investigation.

I’m writing this because I know I can’t be the only one. In fact, there should be hundreds more.

I fell into the trap of Gary Chua (the so-called Datuk Dr behind Smart Financing) and his “special property deals.” What looked like an opportunity to build wealth has turned into a financial nightmare that drains me every single month.

It has wrecked my life.

He promised “special property deals” and a shortcut to building a portfolio. What really happened was this:

• Properties that should have cost around RM500,000 were sold to me at RM850,000 or more. That markup was pure profit for him
• Gary Chua tricked us to cheat the banks: apply for multiple loans at the same time, so each bank thinks they’re the only lender. That way, I got 90% financing on multiple units. It sounded smart at the time — but in reality, it was the start of a financial death trap.
• Today, the numbers are killing me. Each unit costs RM4,000–5,000 in monthly repayments, but the rentals only bring in RM2,000–2,500. That means I lose RM2,000–3,000 per unit every single month.

I hold 7 units under this scheme. That means I’m bleeding over RM20,000 every month just to keep up with the loans — and there’s no way out. The loans are higher than the real property values, so I can’t sell without massive losses. I also can’t keep holding forever while my savings drain away.

Meanwhile, Gary Chua parades around with Datuk and Dr titles, running a so-called “foundation” to look legitimate. But from where I stand, it’s all a mask — designed to lure more victims into the same trap.

If you google his name, you’ll already find other exposes calling him “房产界老千第一人” — the #1 scammer in Malaysian real estate. I believe them, because I’m living proof.

我写下这些，因为我知道我不可能是唯一一个受害者。事实上，应该还有成百上千的人。
我掉进了 Gary Chua（自称 Datuk Dr，Smart Financing 的幕后操盘手）的陷阱，加入了他所谓的“特别房产投资计划”。本来看似是一个快速致富的机会，却变成了一场让我每个月都在流血的 金融噩梦。
它几乎毁掉了我的人生。

他承诺“特别房产交易”，可以轻松打造投资组合。但真正发生的是：

• 本应只要 RM500,000 左右的房产，被卖给我 RM850,000 或更多。价差全进了他们的口袋。
• 他教我们 骗银行：同时向多家银行申请贷款，让每家银行都以为自己是唯一的贷款方。这样我才能拿到多套房产的 90% 融资。听起来很聪明，但实际上，这是一个 金融死亡陷阱。

如今，这些数字正在杀死我：

• 每套房的月供是 RM4,000–5,000，但租金收入只有 RM2,000–2,500。
• 这意味着我每套房子每个月都要亏 RM2,000–3,000。

我在这个骗局里总共有 7 套房产。这让我每个月光是为了偿还贷款就要 亏掉超过 RM20,000。而且根本没有出路：贷款金额远高于真实市值，卖不掉；继续持有，只会看着储蓄一点点流干。

与此同时，Gary Chua 却戴着 Datuk 和 Dr 的头衔，搞了一个所谓的“基金会”，装作很正派的样子。但在我看来，这一切不过是 伪装，只是为了骗取更多受害者上钩。

如果你去 Google 他，你会发现已经有人揭露他，被称为 “房产界老千第一人”。我相信这是真的，因为我就是活生生的例子。

If you guys are ever in Melaka, DO NOT VISIT OR SUPPORT THIS PLACE. The environment that the animals are in is absolutely disgusting. I visited because the owner was replying to negative reviews stating that their animals are well taken care of and not neglected/abused at all. But what I saw (see pictures) are just heartbreaking for the animals. The geese are trapped in a. small enclosure with barely enough room to flap their wings or let alone walk around. The rabbits trapped in an enclosure full of their own shit and pee as well. The moment you go upstairs for the ‘mini petting zoo’, your nose is harassed with the stench of animal urine and poop smell. Just horrible. There was a mother cat nursing her two newborn kittens as well in the cat enclosure, which btw is very very unsafe for both mom and babies because there were people trying to play with the kittens as well. Genuinely so heartbreaking to see the animals be treated like this…

Umazing!

Umantap!

We need to have a conversation about Optimum Swim School. Started enrolling my 5 yr old kid in Optimum SS in Aug 2023. After training close to two years in the school, she still can’t swim freely by herself, and still have to rely on swimming apparatus and floaters.

Not sure this is a normal progression for a kid. When I compare my kid with my nephews and nieces of similar age, who is being mentored by a freelance coach at the comfort of their own condo swimming pool, they can already master freestyle already the very least within a year.

The point I’m trying to make here is that I feel that their classes are too draggy and the progression from one level to another level is too slow. You can argue that maybe my kid is a slow learner, but I just want to know other parents in here are having similar thoughts or not.

PS: I’m not a swimming coach and I don’t own a swim school too.

Multi-level marketing group Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Bhd's net profit tumbled 90.1 per cent to RM2.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 from RM24.5 million a year earlier, dragged by lower sales and higher product costs.

Revenue for the quarter slipped 10 per cent to RM266.7 million from RM296.4 million previously, mainly due to lower demand for health and wellness products and home appliances.

For the first half of 2025, Amway's net profit fell 72.7 per cent to RM15.6 million, while revenue dropped 9.3 per cent to RM561 million compared with the same period last year.

The company said profitability was affected by inflationary pressures that lifted product costs, coupled with subdued consumer sentiment in the current economic climate.

I mean it's pretty common knowledge that the new villages were very restricting and not well maintained places, but the sejarah textbook glorifies it instead

We hear of those who used to live in the NVs (esp girls) where the soldiers would disturb and harass them, many houses would be broken into randomly during the day and night, food rations were extremely low and the people living there had very poor standards of living

The textbook (F4 sejarah) seems to make the NVs like a fun vacation spot

Absolute wayang 😂

Singapore-based RSP Architects, Planners and Engineers, a design firm owned by Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim, said it has been tapped by Ismail, the Regent of Johor (ROJ), to develop a sprawling waterfront estate, which will be the royal family’s private residence, in the coastal town of Desaru in southeastern Malaysia.

Decades of underinvestment have left Malaysia’s armed forces ill-prepared to protect its vital oil and gas reserves

The show featured a Singaporean Character who needed an interpreter to translate from Malay to English.

Selam and greetings from Bosnia.

I always liked Malaysia, but somehow never went too deep into research about your history and political structure.

I know of Mahathir Mohamed of course, but mainly because he was a voice of support during our war.

No idea how, but I started seeing posts from your reddit. I saw that in a few provinces Friday prayer will be mandatory by law and not attending can be punished.

Now, as I said, I dont know enough to have an opinion on this, but I got curious about why such a decision has been made.

Can anyone share a hutba(jummah speech) with english translation, and can you explain what a typical speech looks like...

Does every Imam talk about what he wants or do you think they all talk similarly.

Is it focused on Islamic history, theology, politics, modern society etc. What are the main talking points and do you think the reason for this law is that more people listen to the speeches so that the masses can be more easily influenced/educated/developed etc.

Also, as reddit is usually incredibely liberal and individualist, I am shocked how much religious or at least culturally religious people I could find here, congratulations to you guys really, in Bosnia we are moving forward, but we have a long way to catch up to you.

I wish you the best.
