Agenda / Summary: 1.

Dato’ Seri Ong elaborated on the uniqueness of MCPF as an NGO with Federal Government / Home Ministry / PDRM ties. He stressed on the importance of this joint quest by Penang Port SB & MCPF Penang to help heighten current pervasive dangers of Scams leading to the joint design & development of the Scam Awareness QR Code by PDRM Pulau Pinang & MCPF Penang. He hoped that with Penang Port SB involvement and participation, the Scam Awareness can be further enlightened amongst not only its staff, employees, family members, relatives but also its clients, customers, services providers and the general public; 3. JM Tan shared a quick milestone brief on the subject matter and features of the QR Code application; 4. The use of ‘Whoscall’ / ‘Truecaller’ to screen Scam callers was touched upon; 5. The (Landscape) PowerPoint with a ‘looping’ feature was presented for inputs on further improvements by all. A splendid suggestion was to incorporate music in the background whilst the video was being aired. 15 seconds per slide was comfortably acceptable. It was also suggested to add an image of the QR Code within each slide. The key message of ‘Please Trust No One!’ to be increased within the slides was also suggested. 6. Landscape format would be required for the 4 Ferries (Teluk Bahang, Teluk Duyong, Teluk Kumbar & Teluk Kampi) and the Cruise Terminal (Swettenham Pier); 7.
