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.
A 27-year-old Malaysian national, known as Chin Hock Khan and also referred to as Da Xiang, appeared in court on Wednesday charged with orchestrating illegal financial operations in Singapore. The Singapore Police Force (SPF) announced that Chin was extradited from Malaysia yesterday and handed over to their squad on the same day.
According to the SPF, preliminary investigations revealed that Chin met with at least four Malaysian runners multiple times in Malaysia. These runners were tasked with assigning jobs, coordinating cash withdrawals via ATMs, and paying their wages. Under his direction, the runners transported gold items stolen from scam victims from Johor Bahru and physically handed them over to Chin.
Chin is believed to have been responsible for laundering at least SGD 500,000 generated from fraudulent activities and illicit sources. The SPF noted an increase in Malaysian citizens traveling to Singapore to aid the scam syndicate in stealing cash and valuable items from victims. Law enforcement views any involvement in such fraudulent activities seriously, and offenders will be prosecuted accordingly.
