KUCHING, Dec 1: Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) has clarified that all genuine investments in financial products promoted by BSN will only be carried out via debit and fund transfers, and that no cash is allowed to be involved in all of such investments, Democratic Action Party (DAP) Sarawak chairman Chong Chieng Jen said.
In a press statement, Chong said this followed a meeting with BSN representatives regarding four victims who were allegedly scammed by a BSN employee.
He said BSN has since set up a special team stationed at BSN’s main office in Jalan Satok, Kuching, to handle fraud-related complaints. The team also reports directly to the HQ in Kuala Lumpur.
“Any person who has a genuine claim on such fraud matter can approach the team at the Cawangan and their claim will be given top priority for resolution,” he said.
According to him, the four victims collectively lost RM600,000 in a fraud allegedly committed by a BSN officer, who promoted a fake investment scheme to them separately between December 2024, August and September 2025. The victims were instructed to withdraw cash from their BSN accounts, which the officer then pretended to invest. Each victim was later issued a fake ‘BSN’s official’ receipt.
Also present during the meeting were BSN Sarawak director as well as head of Branch Management from BSN’s Kuala Lumpur headquarters.
“I am glad that BSN’s top management has taken such swift action and hope that the victims will have their money back soonest possible,” Chong added. – DayakDaily
