Alvin Goh, main suspect in money laundering as well as involvement in forex and Macau scams case was nabbed 16 days after escaped from MACC headquarters, Putrajaya. According to source, he was hiding in a resort in Pahang and was accompanied by a Chinese national lady who believed to be his girlfriend.
7 hours after Alvin Goh was arrested, a 8-minute and 40-second video that he pre-recorded was shared online. The video was regarding the allegations he was involved in Macau scam and online gambling.
He started with introducing himself in the footage, ” Hello, My name is Alvin Goh Leong Yeong ”
“The moment you look at this video i’m ready to surrender myself to PDRM. I believed the news on macau scams is widely spread across nation, with all the news agency reporting it. Let me address this widely spread accusations which falsely accused me for who and what i actually do for living.”
“Firstly, I wasn’t crowned any datuk seri title, I wasn’t know how the news was spread. I never use any Datukship in any kind of my businesses or occasions.”
“I was born in KL in 1988, had been living in a rented room before my father save enough money to purchase a 900 sqft condominium in Cheras, Miharja on 2003. I was 15 at that time.
“Knowing the hard work it took my parents to save money to buy property in KL. I started work on part time job during my secondary school in SMK Taman Maluri. I worked as a waiter in Lowyat, bar tender in Bukit Bintang, cleaner in a gym in Capital Hotel, sales assistant in a music record store in Sg. Wang.”
” Those are between 2001 and 2005, my age was 13-year-old since my first job.”
“Right after, i complete my secondary school. I started to work full time as sales assistant in IT Company called Network Computer at Plaza Lowyat to support my family financially. I started my very first job at RM850 back then, I was promoted to supervisor and sales manager in 2.5 years time.”
“I was then given a chance to become franchise of this company together with 4 of my colleagues with the support of my ex-boss. We expanded the business by supplying to government project in Terengganu, Pahang, Sabah and Sarawak in year 2011 because i worked very closely with vendor like AMD, Intel, Acer, Lenovo, Asus and HP.”
“For an entrepreneur such as myself, i believe diversification is necessary to remain competitive in the market. We have the very first dealership showroom for the company for drone business. We are the first showroom for DJI. My business then expanded to technology product such as face recognition, thermal detecting CCTV, under vehicle scanner system. We’ve been recognised as one of the HIK Vision dealership here in Malaysia.”
“During the pandemic time, i decided to venture into other business. My company began selling face masks, thermal CCTV, sanitisers and not forgetting to give back to the society as a support in cause of fighting Covid-19 in donating and sponsoring products to government and private entities.”
“Now i think public need to know what happen from the first day in MACC until now. I wish to clarify that i voluntary to go to MACC office on Oct 2 to help in their ongoing investigations. I was told only on that evening i need to be remanded to further notice for further investigations. ”
“I truly understood at that moment that they need to follow instructions from their superior. I was threatened well and fair in MACC and given medical check up at the first day i was remanded and the last day when i was released to ensure i was not be anyway tortured. Food and water also provided on time during the retention.”
” I was finally released on bail on Oct 11. I realised i could finally head home to meet my family. But then i came to know that others who was released on bail by MACC will be immediately detained by PDRM and charged under POCA.”
“To my knowledge, to charge under POCA is a very serious matter. After 10 days of detention, i was tired and cannot think straight. Thus i decided not to exit through MACC main entrance instead i exit through the back side of the building. Few days later, i saw in internet, the media said i was wanted by PDRM, with details like photo, IC, and even home address.”
“I was forcibly and bluntly accused the leader of Macau Scams, syndicate that laundering millions of ringgit and also owner of many luxury vehicles, also there were accusation saying i also operating online gambling activities in Cheras. On top of that, worst accusation is i’m the agent that offering high-end prostitution to VIP for price of RM4,500. I wish to inform the public that i’m no way to involve or related in this activities.”
“I also want to clarify that i don’t know any celebrity or artist who was called to MACC for questioning. Beside that those luxury vehicle that was seized, do not belong to me at all, none of them. As per quoted by the media, 700 over bank account that were frozen, more than 100 millions in total. My company as of my personal account that was frozen by MACC is not more 1 million. I’m not the leader of Macau Scams syndicate. I don’t even know how this syndicate work because i only engaged in my IT business for the past 12 years.”
” Also reported in another news outlet, that i earned more than 1.08 billion a year in this illegal activities which is a blunted accusations and untrue. According to the statement of the CID director, which indicate me as the coordinator of the Macau scams syndicate illegal activities, because my IT business make it easier to provide telecommunications, equipments for the syndicate. This is a false accusation which i like to address as well. After doing business for 12 years, my customers come from all walk of life as when there is demand i’m happy to supply as this is consider revenue in my business. If the authority demand necessary i’m more than willing to provide sales records of every single transactions of my business that sold to our customers as proof that we only supply IT goods and products.”
“What i just said above is true and i have source to back every single word i just said. Now everything that was accused bluntly without proper source regarding me should be make clear that i’m not related to any of this macau scams syndicate and the illegal gambling activities. As mentioned in the news my business premise had been raid a few times past weeks and i believe this might cause social anxiety as it result more of my staff resigning as they felt harassment by society and authorities and seems like more clients wanted to terminating the tenancy agreements with my IT company due to this whole scene.”
“I decided to come out from hiding to surrender myself soon to assist with investigation. I believed they proper law and be fair to me in this matter and telling truth to the public. I hope there will be proper justice shed over me, i have been forcibly accused for the crime that i didn’t commit. I seek for public or anyone that know me to help me to clear my reputation. As how news agency and social media platform tarnished my reputation by publishing news without proper investigations.”
“Thank you very much!”
