Individuals Allegedly Deceived in Schemes Involving Menteri Besar Perak Incorporated (MB Inc) Projects

Two men, Heidil Iskandar Mohd Shamlan and Mohd Zulkifli Mohd Toha, have been charged with multiple counts of cheating related to purported joint-venture mining and land development projects using the name of Menteri Besar Perak Incorporated (MB Inc). The alleged deception involved convincing individuals that the accused could facilitate access to these projects, leading to substantial financial transfers.
Deception Regarding Rare Earth Element (REE) Mining Project

Heidil Iskandar Mohd Shamlan and Mohd Zulkifli Mohd Toha allegedly misled Muhammad Razlan Abdullah into believing they could secure him a Rare Earth Element (REE) mining project in Hulu Perak. This alleged misrepresentation resulted in Muhammad Razlan handing over a total of RM650,000. The alleged incidents occurred on October 10, 2023, at the public car park of Hotel Casuarina Meru Raya, and on November 17, 2023, in front of the MB Inc office.
Deception Regarding Land Development Joint Venture

Heidil Iskandar Mohd Shamlan faced further charges for allegedly deceiving See Chin Chee. The accusations state that Heidil Iskandar convinced See that he could help obtain a joint venture project with MB Inc for the development of a 400-hectare land in Mukim Pasir Panjang Ulu, Perak Tengah, on behalf of Jinsha Mineral Sdn Bhd. This led to See transferring RM350,000 to Heidil Iskandar.
Deception Regarding Multiple Joint Venture Projects

In a separate set of charges, Heidil Iskandar Mohd Shamlan is accused of deceiving See Chin Chee into believing he could facilitate several joint venture projects with MB Inc for Agrostone (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. These alleged misrepresentations prompted See to hand over RM600,000 to Heidil Iskandar. These offences are reported to have taken place between August 3, 2022, and December 28, 2022, at the Public Bank Simpang Pulai Branch.
Impersonation as CEO of MB Inc

Mohd Zulkifli Mohd Toha also faces a charge of cheating Andy Anak Ungin by allegedly impersonating the Chief Executive Officer of MB Inc. This incident is said to have occurred in a meeting room at the MB Inc office in Bandar Meru Raya on November 17, 2023. The charges for these alleged deceptions fall under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating, which carries a penalty of up to 10 years imprisonment, whipping, and a fine.
