WhatsApp message about a serial rapist selling organs harvested from his victims is a hoax, says PDRM

Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM) today dismissed a purported wanted notice circulating via WhatsApp messages about a serial rapist who also sells organs harvested from his victims at the Malaysia-Thailand border as a hoax.

Bukit Aman corporate communication chief Datuk Asmawati Ahmad said the fake wanted notice for a man named Mohd Faris Farhan Akhlaken Ahmad, which was circulated via WhatsApp fraudulently under her name, has been making the rounds several times since 2014.

“PDRM (Royal Malaysia Police) has never received any verified information or police reports related to abductions for the purpose of organ sales in this country.

“PDRM also wishes to announce that any official statement from this office will only be made through official channels, not through WhatsApp,” Asmawati said in a statement.
