The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) is seeking information and assistance from the public to locate the whereabouts of the former Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Asia Media Group Berhad (AMGB), Ricky Wong Shee Kai (Wong).
Wong is wanted for charges under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001(AMLATFPUAA) and the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 (CMSA).
This search follows various arrest warrants against Wong who remains at-large, as well as past attempts to locate his whereabouts.
On 27 December 2019, the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate’s Court issued a warrant of arrest against Wong for two charges under section 32(8)(a) AMLATFPUAA for failure to appear before an Investigating Officer of the SC as required under section 32(2)(a) of the same Act.
If convicted, Wong would be liable to a fine not exceeding RM3 million ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or to both, and with the possibility of a continuing fine.
Subsequently, on 29 September 2021, the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate’s Court issued a second warrant of arrest against Wong for one charge under section 369(b)(B) CMSA for furnishing a false statement relating to AMGB’s revenue to Bursa Malaysia.

If convicted, Wong would be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years and shall also be liable to a fine not exceeding RM3 million.
