Bank Negara Malaysia | Central Bank of Malaysia (Official)

Jabatan Peguam Negara, Polis Diraja Malaysia dan Bank Negara Malaysia, ingin memberikan maklumat terkini berhubung dengan serbuan bersama terhadap syarikat-syarikat yang disyaki ( Genneva, Pageantry Gold, Caesar Gold dan Worlwide Far East ) menjalankan skim pelaburan haram menggunakan emas.

Serbuan telah dibuat untuk melindungi kepentingan para pelabur dan orang ramai daripada menjadi mangsa skim haram tersebut.

Hasil pemantauan dan pemerhatian ke atas syarikat-syarikat berkenaan telah menunjukkan bahawa syarikat-syarikat tersebut menjalankan skim yang dipercayai tidak mampu bertahan lama bagi membuat pembayaran bulanan yang lumayan seperti dijanjikan, dan mereka juga tidak dapat membuat belian balik emas yang telah dijual kepada para pelabur. 

Skim ini tidak boleh bertahan lama memandangkan pulangan yang dijanjikan adalah bukan daripada urus niaga emas tetapi diambil daripada wang pelaburan para pelabur baharu. Siasatan yang dibuat juga menunjukkan bahawa jumlah aset dan wang yang ada pada syarikat-syarikat tersebut adalah amat kecil dan tidak sejajar dengan jumlah wang yang dilaburkan oleh para pelabur skim ini. 

Sebelum serbuan bersama dibuat, didapati bahawa syarikat-syarikat tersebut telah melengahkan pemulangan emas mahupun pembayaran wang kepada para pelabur dalam tempoh masa yang dijanjikan. Kesemua ini merupakan tanda-tanda awal kegagalan skim ini yang akan mengakibatkan para pelaburnya mengalami kerugian yang besar.

UPDATE: on joint raids conducted by enforcement agencies on companies suspected of conducting illegal investment schemes using gold.

The Attorney General’s Chambers, the Royal Malaysia Police and Bank Negara Malaysia, would like to provide the following update on the recent raids against companies suspected of operating illegal investment schemes using gold. These raids were conducted in the interest of protecting the investors as well as the public at large from falling victim to illegal schemes. 

Based on surveillance and examination conducted on these companies, it has been discovered that these companies are operating schemes that are believed to be not sustainable to provide the promised high monthly returns, nor would they be able to provide the buy back guarantee of gold. 

Such schemes are not sustainable because the returns promised are not funded through gold trading, but from the monies invested into such schemes. The investigations have also revealed that the amount of assets and monies held by these companies do not commensurate with the amount collected from their investors. Prior to the joint raids, it has been noticed that these companies have delayed in returning gold or money to the investors within the stipulated time as promised.

THE HISTORY OF GOLD

While bits of natural gold have been found in the remains of inhabited caves dating back as far as the Palaeolithic Era around 40,000 B.C., there is some agreement that gold was first used as adornment in the temples of ancient Egypt. Interestingly enough, gold was not used as money at that time. Instead, the ancient Egyptians used barley as their exchange medium. By the 7th century B.C. gold was used as money in Lydia. Gold has been used for ornaments and decoration and as money for over 5,000 years. Gold leaf has been used for the decoration of tombs and statues, cathedrals and temples, fine books, and picture frames since Egyptian times. Many Egyptian burial cases, including King Tutankhamun’s (1352 BC), were overlaid with beaten gold (called gilding). Gold leaf is still often preferred for adorning the domes or ceilings of buildings (such as the Metropolitan Opera House in New York) because its resistance to corrosion means that it will outlast paint by many years.

Gold was made into jewellery long before it was used as currency. The earliest gold jewellery dates from the Sumeric civilisation around 3,000BC. For centuries, gold has meant wealth, prestige, and power, and its rarity and natural beauty have made it precious to men and women alike. Owning gold has long been a bulwark against disaster. Many times when paper money has failed, men have turned to gold as the one true source of monetary wealth. What is gold and why is gold so important?

Gold is a rare metal. It has the chemical symbol Au, named after Aurora, the Roman goddess of the dawn. The purity of gold is described by its ‘fineness’ in parts per 1,000 or by the carat scale which is parts per 24. The word ‘carat’ derives from the Italian carato, Arabic qirat or Greek keration, all meaning the fruit of the carob tree. Ancient traders used carob seeds as the means to balance the scales in oriental bazaars. Pure gold is 24 carat or 1,000 fine. The price of gold and other precious metals is quoted in terms of troy ounces. The term ‘troy’ is derived from Troyes, France, a major trading city of the middle ages. One troy ounce equals 31.1 grams.
