Arrest follows cross-border collaboration<\/h3>\n

Tan was arrested on 10 March in Perlis, a Malaysian state on the Thai border, by the Malaysian authorities.<\/p>\n

His arrest came after SPF and the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) took part in “close collaboration and intelligence sharing”, SPF said.<\/p>\n

SPF extended its deepest appreciation to the RMP for its “unwavering support”.<\/p>\n

He will be charged in court on Saturday (6 June) with facilitating the commission of a serious offence in furtherance of the illegal purpose of a locally linked Organised Criminal Group.<\/p>\n

The offence, under Section 12(2)(b) of the Organised Crime Act 2015, carries up to five years in prison and\/or a fine of up to S$100,000.<\/p>\n

Tan is among 29 Singaporeans suspected of being members of a scam syndicate operating from a compound in Phnom Penh.<\/p>\n

The syndicate is believed to be involved in government official impersonation scams targeting victims in Singapore, with at least 535 reported cases involving at least S$53 million in losses.<\/p>\n

SPF also issued prohibition of disposal orders and seized assets linked to the syndicate as part of ongoing investigations.<\/p>\n

24 Singaporeans remain at large<\/h3>\n

However, SPF said on 29 Oct that it was looking for 34 more suspected members of the syndicate — 27 Singaporeans and seven Malaysians.<\/p>\n

Two additional Singaporean suspects were later identified following further investigations — Jonathan Boneta, 27, and Lee Ding Hao, 33 — bringing the number of Singaporeans involved to 29. Additional Interpol Red Notices were issued against them on 25 March.<\/p>\n

With the arrests of five Singaporeans and one Malaysian so far, 24 Singaporeans and six Malaysians remain at large.<\/p>\n

One of the Singaporeans is alleged mastermind Ng Wei Liang, 32.<\/p>\n
