Kuala Lumpur: Gabungan Persatuan-Persatuan Penguna Malaysia (FOMCA) menyokong cadangan mewajibkan atau menggalakkan pemasangan kamera papan pemuka atau dashcam dalam kenderaan persendirian.

Ketua Pegawai Operasi FOMCA Nur Asyikin Aminuddin berkata, peranti itu kini menjadi keperluan susulan peningkatan mereka yang memandu secara berbahaya.

"(Cadangan ini) boleh dipertimbangkan kerana dashcam sudah menjadi keperluan memandangkan semakin ramai yang memandu secara melulu, agresif dan kurang sabar di jalan raya, sekali gus meningkatkan risiko kemalangan serta pertikaian apabila berlaku kemalangan," katanya kepada Bernama.

Fomca backs mandating dashcams in private vehicles

Details: Category: Keselamatan Asas; Hits: 6

PETALING JAYA: The Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (Fomca) says it is in favour of any move to encourage or mandate private vehicles to install dashboard cameras, or “dashcams”.
Its chief operating officer Nur Asyikin Aminuddin stated that the device is now seen as a necessity following the rise in dangerous drivers, Bernama reported.

“It is worth considering because dashcams have become a necessity given that there are increasingly more reckless, aggressive, and impatient drivers on the road. This, in turn, increases the risk of accidents and disputes when incidents occur,” she was quoted as saying.Such a policy would also complement the government’s efforts to foster a more prudent driving culture through incentives for drivers with clean records, including additional discounts on insurance premiums.

According to Nur Asyikin, dashcam footage can serve as objective evidence to protect law-abiding road users.

Konflik global dan gangguan rantai pasok memang berada di luar kendali masyarakat biasa, tetapi para ahli menilai rumah tangga tetap bisa mengambil langkah sederhana agar tekanan terhadap keuangan keluarga tidak semakin berat.

Para ekonomi dan pemerhati konsumen di Malaysia mengingatkan masyarakat agar tidak panik menghadapi potensi kenaikan harga barang akibat konflik global maupun gangguan pasokan.

Mereka menilai aksi borong barang secara berlebihan justru dapat menciptakan lonjakan permintaan sementara yang tidak sehat dan mendorong kenaikan harga dalam jangka pendek.

“Panic buying hanya akan menghasilkan lonjakan buatan pada permintaan jangka pendek yang bersifat lokal dan memicu kenaikan harga segera,” kata Wakil Presiden Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association (Fomca), Datuk Indrani Thuraisingham.

GLOBAL conflicts and supply disruptions may be beyond the control of ordinary Malaysians, but there are still practical steps they can take to reduce the impact on their household finances, say experts.

But first, they stress, avoid panic buying.

Panic buying will only result in artificial spikes in localised short-term demand which will trigger immediate price increases, says Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association (Fomca) vice-president Datuk Indrani Thuraisingham.

Enhance fraud detection

Details: Category: Isu SCAM; Hits: 24

KUALA LUMPUR: Banks and financial institutions are facing growing scrutiny on whether measures are in place to detect suspicious online transactions before customers fall victim to scams.

The issue has come under renewed focus following a Sessions Court ruling ordering a bank to compensate a customer RM166,000 over suspicious online transactions that went undetected.

As scams evolve, banks are facing heightened urgency to identify unusual transaction patterns and act fast, particularly as fraudsters exploit human behaviour and then move in to breach banking systems.

TAKTIK PEMASARAN AGRESIF DI PUSAT KESIHATAN DAN KECANTIKAN: APA YANG PENGGUNA PERLU TAHU

Details: Category: Isu SCAM; Hits: 25

Peningkatan penggunaan Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) dan pelan ansuran telah mengubah cara pengguna mendapatkan perkhidmatan kecantikan dan penjagaan diri. Walaupun sistem ini kelihatan lebih fleksibel dan mampu milik, ia turut menimbulkan kebimbangan berkaitan taktik jualan agresif, psikologi pengguna, serta komitmen kewangan jangka panjang.

Dalam sesetengah pusat perniagaan kesihatan dan kecantikan, strategi jualan sering direka untuk mewujudkan perasaan terdesak melalui tawaran masa terhad, pakej eksklusif dan sesi konsultasi yang meyakinkan. Pengguna kadangkala berasa tertekan untuk membuat keputusan dalam masa yang singkat walaupun pada awalnya masih ragu-ragu. Tekanan ini biasanya berlaku secara halus melalui mesej seperti “tawaran sekali seumur hidup” atau amaran bahawa mereka akan kehilangan manfaat jika tidak mengambil pakej tersebut. Ini boleh menjejaskan keupayaan pengguna untuk membuat keputusan yang benar-benar bermaklumat.

AGGRESSIVE SALES IN WELLNESS AND BEAUTY CENTRE: WHAT CONSUMERS SHOULD KNOW

Details: Category: Isu SCAM; Hits: 20

The growing popularity of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) schemes and instalment-based payment options has changed how consumers access beauty and personal care services. While these payment models appear to offer flexibility and affordability, they also raise concerns involving aggressive sales tactics, consumer psychology, and long-term financial commitment.

In some beauty and wellness centre, sales strategies are designed to create urgency through time-limited offers, exclusive packages, and persuasive consultations. Consumers may feel pressured to make immediate decisions, even when they initially express hesitation. This pressure is often subtle rather than direct, relying on psychological cues such as claims that a deal is “once in a lifetime” or that missing it means losing valuable benefits. As a result, consumers may not always make fully informed or rational decisions.

Buy Now, Pay Later - Nationwide Tsunami

Be it ShopeePay Later, Atome, or Grab PayLater; an observing eye could notice that Buy Now, Pay Later (“BNPL”) schemes have steadily gained traction among the younger generation. BNPL schemes provide a form of escapism and a second bite at the cherry for many young people seeking to sustain a particular lifestyle despite financial constraints.

Recently, BNPL schemes have even garnered legislative attention through the passing of the Consumer Credit Bill 2025. During the tabling of the Bill, Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying revealed that BNPL transaction values had surged by more than 30%, increasing from RM7.1 billion in the second half of 2024 to RM9.3 billion in the first half of 2025.

Scams – Focusing on Laws and Technology is not Enough

Details: Category: Isu SCAM; Hits: 30

Scam prevention has long been framed as a technological arms race—better cybersecurity systems, tighter regulations, and stronger laws. While these are undeniably important, they are not sufficient. The uncomfortable truth is that scams persist not merely because of gaps in systems, but because they exploit something far more predictable and universal: human psychology. If we are serious about reducing scam victimisation, we must move beyond a purely institutional response and invest in scam literacy programmes that deeply integrate the psychology of scams to drive real behavioural change.

At its core, a scam is not just a technical deception; it is a psychological manipulation. Scammers do not randomly target vulnerabilities in software alone—they target vulnerabilities in people. Fear, urgency, trust, greed, loneliness, authority, and hope are the real entry points. Whether it is a phone call claiming to be from a bank, a message about a loved one in distress, or an investment promising unusually high returns, the tactics are carefully designed to override rational thinking and trigger emotional responses.
