The couple first sparked romance rumours when they were spotted together at the premiere of war drama miniseries 'Masters Of The Air' in London in January.

JOHOR BARU: A technician lost more than RM160,000 after getting roped into a bogus investment scheme introduced by a Facebook acquaintance.

“The victim received an opportunity from the suspect who offered an online business investment scheme promising a 20% profit on invested capital. Supt Mohd Sohaimi added the victim was attracted to the seemingly simple step of making easy money after being told he would be making high returns. “The payments he made were for items from orders he had gathered from online customers. However, after investing the amount, he realised he had been cheated when he failed to withdraw the profits he had supposedly made,” he added.
