SHAH ALAM, March 25 — Selangor police have denied the involvement of its Escort Unit in organising an Aidilfitri fundraiser, claims of which went viral in a message today.
Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the message, which claimed the event would be held tomorrow at the Selangor police contingent headquarters hall and solicited donations to a MBSB Bank account under the name Norfadilah Md Nor, is false.
“This is a scam attempt to reap profit and tarnish the image of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM),” he said in a statement today.
He advised the public not to be deceived by the message and not to deposit any money into the account.
He also urged those who have sent money to the account to lodge a police report.
“Legal action will be taken against any party found to have misused the department’s name or PDRM’s identity for fraudulent purposes,” Shazeli added.
