  • PPIM DEDAH INSTITUSI PERBANKAN JUAL KES HUTANG LAPUK KEPADA PIHAK KETIGA

    Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) menerima banyak aduan mengenai syarikat pemungut hutang yang bertindak melampaui batas sehingga mengugut rakyat untuk mendapatkan kembali hutang.

    Ketua Aktivis PPIM, Nadzim Johan@toqqi berkata terdapat beberapa kes yang disiasat oleh PPIM mendapati syarikat pihak ketiga atau ‘debt collector’ ini tidak dipantau oleh mana- mana agensi kerajaan.

    “Mereka sewenang-wenangnya bertindak mengugut mangsa tanpa mempertimbangkan usaha mangsa dalam menyelesaikan hutang berkenaan,” katanya.

    Tambah Nadzim, walaupun had kebankrapan telah dinaikkan, pihak pemungut hutang tidak mempedulikan undang-undang itu malah mengugut untuk melelong harta yang bukan milik mangsa.

    “Kami sudah semak dengan Bank Negara, Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan, Kementerian Kewangan, semua syarikat yang kami dedahkan nama kepada pihak Bank Negara tidak dipantau oleh mereka atau agensi mahupun kementerian,” katanya.

    Lebih memburukkan keadaan, aktivis PPIM yang mengendalikan kes memaklumkan pihak BNM memberi maklumbalas syarikat-syarikat ini mungkin akan dipantau pada tahun 2035.

    Dalam satu sidang media hari ini, PPIM bersama seorang mangsa mendedahkan beliau diugut oleh syarikat pemungut hutang walaupun sudah beberapa kali cuba berunding dengan syarikat pemiutang sejak dari awal.

    Mangsa berkata selepas kehilangan pekerjaan, beliau menghadapi masalah mendapatkan pekerjaan lain namun tidak pernah berhenti untuk berusaha menjelaskan hutang beliau yang tertunggak berjumlah RM15,000.

    Mangsa yang menetap di rumah keluarga milik bapanya berkata syarikat pengutip hutang mengugut untuk melelong rumah yang didiami oleh keluarga itu walaupun geran rumah berkenaan tidak mempunyai nama mangsa dan dimiliki oleh bapanya.

    Nadzim berkata, PPIM menggesa pihak berkuasa bertindak lebih tegas dan segera memastikan syarikat yang membeli fail hutang lapuk daripada institusi perbankan dikawalselia segera dan dipantau mengikut peruntukan undang-undang.

    “Seluruh negara sedang sakit, sakit fizikal, mental akibat tekanan kewangan, mengapa syarikat begini dibiarkan menekan rakyat dan mengugut mereka tanpa belas kesihan, siapa pemimpin negara yang akan tampil bantu rakyat kita,” katanya.

  • “White Horse Prince OPPA” Trailer Launching Event

    Following the kick-off event for the Anti-Scam Campaign Awareness Film “OPPA” on March 29, 2023, production officially commenced on April 4, 2023. Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, KLCC Twin Towers, Jalan Alor Food Street, Bukit Bintang, Chiao Nan Primary School, Sentul Police Station, and Bukit Aman Police Headquarters are among the notable places used in the film. The goal is to present both local and international audiences the iconic beauty of Kuala Lumpur.

    This million-dollar Malaysian film, a collaboration between Dream Film and the Royal Malaysia Police Commercial Crime Investigation Department, is the country’s first 90-minute cinema film on scam awareness. Based on a true story, “OPPA” tells the tale of a primary school teacher yearning for love who meets her ideal white horse prince in the online world. They quickly fall in love, setting off an exotic love story. However, when everything seems perfect, a series of “accidents” occur, turning her life into a nightmare.

    To ensure the film reflects real-life cases, the production team extensively researched past and present fraud cases in collaboration with the police. Film Director Denil Choong Lin Loong and the scriptwriting team made eight revisions to create a film that feels like a movie rather than a documentary about scams. The surprises that “OPPA” will bring to the audience before its release include:

    The casting of South Korean actor Jang Tae Oh as the male lead OPPA. His outstanding looks and remarkable acting skills caught the director’s attention, resulting in more scenes for him.

    In line with the “Malaysia Madani” campaign, “OPPA” features a diverse cast representing different ethnicities. The film includes dialogue in seven languages, including Malay, English, Mandarin, dialects, Korean, and Indian languages.

    Attending Organisations: Royal Malaysia Police Commercial Crime Investigation Department, Dream Film Production Team, Filming Team, Post-production Team, Sponsors, Producers, Distributors, Actors, and Media.

    The film features real police officers in various roles. The appearance of TikTok star and police ASP Rahmat Fitri shines on screen, presenting the real-life stories of scammer apprehension.

    The lead actress is Malaysian internet celebrity Jacqueline Goh Wan Yi, who previously served as a primary school teacher for 14 years. With numerous collaborations with the director, their chemistry is evident. This role presented many firsts for her, including bold and intimate scenes with South Korean actor Jang Tae Oh. Additionally, due to the emotional nature of the script, she had to perform crying scenes, which made it challenging for her to detach from the character for a while.

    The film cast several outstanding actors who auditioned in February, including Sadiq M. Jalil as the mastermind behind the scam group, Lee Qi as a third-party character that keeps the audience guessing until the last minute, and newcomer Amanda as the protagonist’s best friend. Ariel, an English teacher who plays the role of a principal, was also a victim of fraud in real life, left with only RM400 in her bank account. She feels honored to be part of the film, as it aligns with the film’s initial goal of helping the police reduce crime and increase public awareness of scam groups

    The film features cameo appearances by famous DJ Rachel B, professional boxer Peter Davis, Malaysian TVB newcomer Nicholas, Sarawak TikTok star “Mr. Crocodile,” and TikTok star and police ASP Rahmat Fitri, providing surprises for the audience.

    Award-winning director Denil Choong Lin Loong, known for his achievements in international microfilms, will submit this feature-length film to domestic and international film competitions and festivals. With a humble mindset, he hopes that more people can see the film’s message of saving lives and exposing the tactics of scam groups.

    Filming concluded on 16/05/2023, and post-production is currently underway with the aim of completing all processes within July. Discussions with the Film Board and major distributors are already in progress, seeking the best release schedule for nationwide screening.

  • Collaboration between the government and Odoo in implementing an e-invoicing system

    This event’s primary goal is to raise awareness of LHDN’s e-invoicing effort and to explain what businesses may anticipate from its implementation and what the invoice will imply for their operations.

    The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) has revealed that the electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) system will be implemented in stages starting from next year. E-invoicing system is the exchange of an electronic invoice document between the vendor and the customer, which goes through LHDN. These invoices will need to be recognized and validated by LHDN as an e invoice, only then it can sent to the customer.

    The objectives and benefits of implementing this system is higher accuracy in auditing and time saving on auditing.

    Collaboration between the government and Odoo in implementing an e-invoicing system can bring several benefits to both parties. Odoo is a popular open-source ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software that offers a range of business applications, including accounting and invoicing modules.

    The government can support the implementation of an e-invoicing system by partnering with Odoo. This partnership could involve providing financial assistance, regulatory guidance, and technical expertise to ensure a smooth transition to e-invoicing.

    What is Odoo? Odoo ERP is open-source software that covers a wide range of apps and modules that can perfectly match your business requirements. There are different versions of Odoo available that meet small to medium business needs such as the Community version, Enterprise version (Odoo.sh, cloud, and online).

    Odoo has been awarded with the Enterprise Application Innovator of the Year award at the Data News Awards for Excellence 2023. This award acknowledges their relentless pursuit of innovation to further disrupt the market and offer the best possible business management solution available.

    By leveraging Odoo’s expertise in ERP systems and collaborating closely with the government, the implementation of an e-invoicing system can be more efficient, effective, and beneficial for all stakeholders involved.

    Odoo plays a crucial role in the development and deployment of a system by providing a flexible, modular, and integrated platform for managing various business functions. It enables businesses to streamline their operations, improve efficiency, and adapt the system to their specific requirements.

    Odoo will be one of the solutions for businesses in Malaysia to intergrate the e-invoicing process with LHDN, as Odoo is already used in other countries for an e-invoicing environment. Precomp is one of the partners that are involved and closely following the development of this initiative.

    Other than that, the key features and functionalities of the e-invoicing system is to improves data collection and data accuracy for the tax authorities and helps businesses admin cost since the integration will automate the invoices validation and creation  into customers systems. This will streamline the invoicing processes for businesses as well as the auditing by tax authorities.

    The invoices generated in the vendor’s system will be transmitted to LHDN for validation as part of the process of producing and submitting e-invoices through this system. When the e invoice is validated by LHDN’s system, it returns a unique number to the vendor’s system for records and notifies the vendor that it has been validated. When the validation is complete, the e invoice is delivered to the customer’s system, where it is automatically produced. Sales invoices, credit notes, debit notes, and cancellations will all be processed using e invoicing. Odoo can easily manage this entire process, and with Precomp’s knowledge in system implementations, the entire process can be implemented effectively with LHDN.

    With the interface to LHDN and the validation of the invoices by LHDN, businesses may benefit from e-invoicing systems in terms of efficiency and cost savings. This will reduce administrative costs associated with audits because the e-invoicing process provides greater data correctness and a more effective data collection.

    With this method, tax compliance will be enhanced as all documentation will be digitalized and data tracking and validation tracking implemented. The error rate will significantly decline, which will speed up the processing of tax and audits.

    Adopting an e-invoicing system has several advantages for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), the advantage are clear for SMEs in adopting this system where a more efficient tas processing and tax returns can be ensure, as digitalizing tax data cuts down human workload.

    The e-invoicing system can integrate with existing accounting or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. In fact, one of the primary goals of implementing an e-invoicing system is to streamline and automate the invoicing process by integrating it with existing systems.

    This system is designed to be scalable and can accommodate a growing number of users and transactions. Scalability is an essential consideration in the development of any system, especially when it involves handling large volumes of data or accommodating a growing user base. Precomp can provide consultation and the best practices to businesses undergoing this process.

    In conclusion, this e invoicing system will help business with their auditing and improve data accuracy between businesses and the tax authoritiesm with a partner like Precomp and a system like Odoo, businesses will be able to adapt to this new change easily.
