Selangor Land Scam: 70 yr old bachelor retiree almost conned of RM 17 Million by Datuk Amin Pipet – who is this man? (updated)

Updates: Commentator Lim Seng did so detective work, producing the above picture of Amin Pipet from the Selangor website, showing his Datukship in 2004.

I was thrilled today to see the frontpage of theSun, which told the tale of a truly shameless land scam.
