Speaking her truth
AFTER being associated with the high-end prostitution syndicate currently being investigated, actress Chacha Maembong is setting the record straight.

On Oct 18, Utusan Malaysia reported that the he Malaysian Anti-Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) is investigating a prostitution syndicate where local celebrities were said to earn between RM20,000 and RM40,000 a night.
“I’ve been wo orking so hard all these yearsy to earn a living,” sayss Chacha, who ha as been acting since she was 16.
“I know my name has been associated with the RM40,000 scandal. Many have messaged me on Instagram about it. “Whatever accusations that people want to throw at me, they can go ahead. One day, the truth will come out.”
The actress also hit out at those accusing her of being involved with the much talked-about Macau Scam. The money laundering scheme, which also has connections to the prostitution ring, is being investigated by the MACC, with local celebrities like comedian Shuib Sepahtu recently being called in for questioning.
