The 22-year-old man surnamed Ye was busted by Taiwan police during a deal with a scam victim, reported local media. In a press release on Tuesday (Nov 19), Yilan County police said the 46-year-old female victim had lost NT$1.22 million ($50,300) to an online investment scam operated by the syndicate. She was reportedly tricked into joining a LINE chat group operated by fraudsters posing as investment consultants after chancing upon a Facebook advertisement.

Its website also includes advisories on the latest scam trends.  In their statement, the police reminded members of the public not to disclose their personal details to unknown persons without confirming their identity.  They added that they will never ask for an individual's personal details over the phone or social messaging platforms for the purpose of investigations.  Members of the public with any information relating to such scams can call the police hotline at 1800-255-0000, or submit an online report. 

Both sports and disability awareness hold a special place in Vanessa Quek's heart. The 32-year-old PE teacher at the St Andrew's School for Autism told AsiaOne that she has always wanted to help students with autism or other disabilities benefit from sports. In 2020, Quek found an avenue to champion disability awareness through Play Inclusive, a sports competition where athletes with intellectual disabilities are teamed up with people without disabilities to ensure equal and quality participation. Programmes like these allow Quek's students to interact with students from mainstream schools, she said. «Sports is a platform for them to not only benefit physically, but socially as well,» she explained, adding that it is «beautiful» to see friendships blossoming as a result of such activities. The good news is, more support is heading their way as Play Inclusive plans to triple its participants under the new Disability Sports Masterplan (DSMP) 2024, which was unveiled on Wednesday (Nov 20).
