Warga Malaysia didakwa dalang operasi ubah wang di Singapura
Tertuduh didakwa menyelaraskan skim penipuan membabitkan individu menyamar sebagai pegawai kerajaan dan merekrut rakyat Malaysia menjalankan aktiviti penipuan serta pengubahan wang haram.
Malaysian authorities have charged a 27-year-old Malaysian national, Chin Hock Khan, with orchestrating illegal money laundering operations in Singapore. Chin, also known as Da Xiang, appeared in court on Wednesday, accused of coordinating a scheme that involved posing as government officials to recruit Malaysians for fraudulent activities and money laundering.
The charges stem from Section 51 of the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Offenses (Civilian Property Confiscation) Act 1992, which can carry up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to SGD500,000, or both, if found guilty.
Upon his arrest in Malaysia yesterday, Chin was handed over to the Singapore Police Force (SPF) the same day. Initial investigations revealed that Chin met with at least four Malaysian "runners" multiple times in Malaysia to assign tasks, coordinate the withdrawal of money via ATMs, and pay them. Under his direction, the runners transported gold items stolen from scam victims from Johor Bahru to Singapore and physically handed them over.
Chin is believed to have been responsible for laundering at least SGD500,000 obtained from fraudulent activities and illicit sources.
The SPF noted an increasing trend of Malaysians traveling to Singapore to assist the scam syndicate in stealing cash and valuable items from victims. Police take such involvement in fraudulent activities seriously, and any offenders will face legal action according to the law.
