Kuala Lumpur, 6th February 2024 - The Royal Malaysia Police Force (PDRM) is stepping up its anti-scam campaign efforts with a first ever collaboration with a production company, Dream Film, to produce the first anti-scam awareness movie in Malaysia titled “Oppa”.
Assistant Director (Intelligence) of Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department, Superintendent Mohd Faizal Zainal said the film, which is based on true stories of online love scams, is one of PDRM's new initiative to educate the public through an alternative medium and raise awareness on online scams.
“We at PDRM always welcome any form of prevention for the community, especially through various mechanisms. We offer prevention all the time in conventional ways, such as talks or video clips.
“However, this time we are taking the entertainment route because we believe that the community is closer to what we are trying to convey,” he said after the launch of the Oppa movie recently.
Oppa tells the story of a primary school teacher who is looking for love and meets the man of her dreams online, unaware that she is falling victim to a love scam syndicate.
What is even more interesting is that the 90-minute movie which cost almost RM2 million, features more than 50 police personnel who are really attached to PDRM, including Superintendent Mohd Faizal, in a real action against scam syndicates.
