Examples of"successful” donation drives include the RM1mil raised in less than 24 hours to aid victims of the massive floods in Selangor at the end of 2021, and RM97,000 collected in less than 24 hours to support the families of two food delivery riders in 2022, one of whom died while the other was severely injured after being hit by a vehicle.
More often than not, donors find themselves in a bind after making a single contribution as they would continuously receive requests for further donations via text messages or emails from the NGOs or parties concerned.Their efforts to help those in need may seem commendable, but then there are disturbing stories being shared on social media about certain individuals exploiting such initiatives, that is, misusing donations for personal gain including living a lavish lifestyle.

Checks with the police revealed that from 2019 to 2023, 85 fraud cases involving donations and contributions amounting to RM667,845 were recorded.These statistics may not reflect the full extent of the misappropriation issue as Bukit Aman’s Commercial Crime Investigation Department stated that most cases were reported by NGOs whose names had been used by others to solicit donations.
