KUALA LUMPUR: Two individuals detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC) over money laundering recently are believed to be scam syndicate coordinators targeting victims from China.

Bukit Aman CID director Datuk Huzir Mohamed said both men, known as Addy Kanna and Goh Leong Yeong, were coordinators and agents tasked with preparing residences and call centres equipped with computers and telecommunication equipment. Goh, who is also known as Alvin, was the man who escaped by scaling the fence of MACC headquarters on Oct 11.
