- Friday | 19th February, 2021
Police said the unidentified 34-year-old man was detained for questioning in the capital Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, after they had received at least 74 complaints against online dating service Sugarbook. On its website, Sugarbook describes itself as an “industry leader in luxury dating”, providing a platform “for modern relationships to form and grow”. “In our preliminary investigations, the suspect admitted to being the founder of the application Sugarbook,” Selangor state criminal investigations chief Fadzil Ahmat told Reuters. In a post that went viral last week, Sugarbook claimed that thousands of students from top private and public universities had joined the app as “sugarbabies”.
