Its Commercial Crime Investigation Department’s deputy director (Cyber and Multimedia Investigation), SAC Ahmad Noordin Ismail, said the portal, managed by the department, was still at the trial stage.
“Through this portal, the public can check whether the bank accounts were previously reported to be involved in cheating,” he said, adding that all one needed to do was enter the bank account number.
“If there has been instances of cheating … it will be shown in the search box,” he said in a statement here today.
Ahmad Noordin said the portal would be officially launched by Commercial CID director Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani soon.
He said the portal at http://ccid.rmp.gov.my/semamule/ already had 47,000 visitors, registering 25,000 hits for bank accounts searches, just days after it began operating.
The image of the portal has also gone viral on social websites.
