What’s new: Malaysian police have cracked a criminal ring responsible for kidnapping a Chinese national last month, local media reported.
The Chinese man was abducted, along with a Malaysian woman, on July 11 near a highway in Cyberjaya, some 30 kilometers south of the capital Kuala Lumpur. The two victims were released on July 15 after a relative of the Chinese national paid a ransom of nearly $1.2 million in cryptocurrency, according to reports from the Malay Mail.
