Police are investigating RM2mil in unauthorized transactions from a bank in Kuala Kangsar, as reported by The Star.
CCID director Comm Datuk Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf said a police report was made on July 9.
“Two customers found money missing from their accounts, and we believe a bank employee is responsible,” he said.
The problem was discovered on June 27 when the account holders tried to withdraw money but found it had been transferred without their permission.
“Some account details had been changed, but the customers denied doing it,” he added.
The bank investigated and found that one of its employees made the withdrawals and moved the money to other accounts. This employee, the main suspect, committed suicide on July 5.
He stressed that banks must investigate any unauthorized transactions thoroughly. Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying also said in Parliament on July 9 that banks are responsible for proving unauthorized transactions, not the victims.
Comm Ramli said banks should not blame customers for financial fraud unless there is clear evidence of customer negligence.
