SINGAPORE, May 28 — Authorities have intensified efforts to track down six Malaysians believed to be part of a Cambodia-based scam syndicate linked to hundreds of fraud cases in Singapore.
The group, which operated from a compound in Phnom Penh, is associated with at least 535 reported scams involving losses of about S$53 million.
Joint operations by the Singapore Police Force and the Cambodian National Police previously disrupted the network, but several suspects remain at large.
Meanwhile, one suspect, Ngiam Siow Jui, 30, has been arrested and charged for his role as a scam caller.
He was detained in Phnom Penh and repatriated to Singapore on May 4 after evading authorities for about seven months.
Police said investigations are ongoing, with multiple suspects still being pursued, including alleged syndicate leader Ng Wei Liang.
If convicted, Ngiam faces up to five years’ jail, a fine of up to S$100,000, or both.
