KUALA LUMPUR – The Securities Commission (SC) is on the hunt for an individual known as Syarmi Shamsuddin for allegedly committing several offences relating to unit trust investments.
In a post on X today, the commission said it is requesting public assistance to locate Syarmi, whom SC said is a former unit trust and private retirement scheme consultant.
Syarmi is suspected of misconduct involving unit trust investments and was last seen in Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya.

The company also claims to have “more than 10 years” of experience in Malaysia. – August 13, 2024
