Cautionary tale: Foong and Chaw holding up a copy of her police report during a press conference
in Ipoh.
IPOH: A former waitress who lost her job during the first movement control order last March used funds from her Employees Provident Fund’s i-Sinar facility to pay number forecast agencies for tips for 4D wins only to be cheated of RM3,000.
Taking the easier way out to make a fast buck, Foong Wai Min, 42, invested a total of RM3,000 with a stranger she befriended on social media.
She gathered the money by borrowing from others and withdrawing RM1,000 from her i-Sinar account.
