  "account": "Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi explained that the Cybercrimes (Amendment) Act grants the court the power to issue attachment orders on assets, even before a suspect is officially charged. This measure aims to prevent criminals from transferring ill-gotten gains, such as stolen money, abroad. Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi stated that attachment orders are among the many types of orders a court can issue to curb or halt legal violations. Other orders may include restraining orders, restitution orders to victims, and compliance orders, according to Bernama, in response to a parliamentary question. Requests for such orders can be made by the complainant or a government official empowered with authority. Zahid responded to questions from Shamshulkahar Deli (BN-Jempol) regarding the sufficiency of the existing legal framework to address online fraud using artificial intelligence and a special provision to expedite action against syndicates and protect victims. Zahid said the Act passed by Parliament in July last year was amended to tackle AI-driven online fraud, including identity theft, deepfake, and digital manipulation.",
