Frequent fraud cases by Chinese citizens lead Malaysian media veteran to call for cancellation of visa-free policy

Fraud and other crimes by Chinese citizens are frequent in Malaysia, becoming a social issue. A. Kadir Jasin, a veteran Malaysian media figure, pointed out that in the pursuit of economic benefits from attracting Chinese tourists, the country has become a hotbed for international crime. He has called on the government to cancel the visa-free policy and resume visa requirements. Chinese criminal groups use luxury apartments as bases to conduct investment and job scams against overseas victims. While police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission continue to make arrests, caution is also growing in the real estate industry.
