PETALING JAYA, July 8 — Police are investigating if a shooting incident in Taman OUG, Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday was linked to a Ponzi scheme in China.
Real estate agent Datin Wong Siu Ling, 32, was gunned down in broad daylight as she was driving in the area.
City CID chief SAC Rusdi Mohd Isa said: “Wong’s husband admitted to running an illegal Ponzi scheme in China and returned recently after making a profit.
“This could be a possible motive for the murder, but we are not ruling out other possiblities.”
It is understood the husband ran “several businesses” in Malaysia and China and had returned recently.
The couple were also involved in a comestics business.
The husband, who declined to be named, had told Malay Mail he believed the attack could be due to an investment deal gone wrong.
He said Wong had invested “millions” in a ceramic business eight months ago but lost all of it after the individual she was dealing with “went missing”.
“We hired a private investigator but he could not obtain any details. My wife was persistent and recently set out to find the man who absconded her money.
“I believe the perpetrator knew we were looking for him. He could be behind this.”
Rusdi, however, said the husband did not mention such claims to police when his statement was recorded.
