The rise and fall of Tedy Teow’s empire
(The Star) – In 2011, Teow and his son Chee Chow were sentenced to a day’s jail and fined RM160,000 after admitting to two counts of cheating and misleading investors of more than RM1mil in the Island Red Cafe scheme in 2010.
Not long after came MBI. It took Penang by storm with offers of “lucrative” returns and was big news in 2015.
Teow was then director of Mface International Bhd and MBI Marketing Sdn Bhd, two companies under the MBI group.
The company set up M Mall 020 in Jalan Datuk Keramat as its headquarters. The mall had several convenience stores which sold its own brand of body lotions, shampoo products and general trading.
Members could use digital currency called Mcoin to buy and redeem stuff from M Mall.
The company even launched its own line of MBI International smartphones then.
MBI also had a chain of hotels including one in Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah and a Chinese restaurant in Jelutong. It also operated an e-hailing service called MULA car.
MBI’s popularity skyrocketed and there was a huge development project next to the Penang International Airport called Mpire Residences being proposed. It never materialised.
The company spread its wings to Kedah with a housing project in Kulim called MBI Desaku.
Teow turned philanthropist when he set up MBI Charity 100, a social responsibility effort by MBI Group to help the poor and the needy. The objective was to hold 999 charity events each year.
But in 2017, Teow’s world came crashing down. M Mall was raided by police, while 91 bank accounts linked to MBI International were frozen. The accounts held RM177mil.
Teow would later face two charges of issuing unrecognised payment instruments. In 2018, he was fined RM2.5mil and RM3mil by Bank Negara for financial irregularities.
