WARRANTS of arrest have been issued for 27 Singaporeans and seven Malaysians believed to be part of a transnational scam syndicate operating out of Cambodia, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) announced on 29 October.
The Straits Times reported today that the 34 suspects, currently overseas, are alleged to have links to a criminal group involved in impersonation scams targeting Singaporean victims. The syndicate is thought to have caused at least S$41 million in losses across 438 cases.
Their names surfaced following joint investigations by Singapore and Cambodian authorities, which led to an enforcement operation in Phnom Penh on 9 September.
The compound raided was believed to be the syndicate’s operational base. Fifteen individuals – including 12 Singaporeans, two Malaysians and one Filipino – were arrested in Singapore shortly after and charged on 11 and 12 September with being members of a locally linked organised criminal group.
Subsequent investigations and evidence gathered in Cambodia identified a further 34 suspects as members of the same syndicate. They are believed to have also operated from the Phnom Penh compound.
The Singaporeans named are Ng Wei Liang, Andrew Tay Jing An, Finan Siow, Francis Tan Thuan Heng, Jonathan Pek Ser Siang, Lam Yong Yan, Leon Chia Tee Song, Lim Ee Siong, Wong Yao Zong, Clarence Ng Jun Rong, Dilwin Tay Meng Wei, Dinesh, Kiang Wayne, Lam An Tuyen Daniel, Lim Jing En Kyan, Neo Zhi Bin, Ngiam Siow Jui, Phua Sheng Kai Audric, Poh Yang Ting, Sim Zong Yuan, Tan Darren, Tan Kai Siang, Tan Li Sen, Wayne Soh You Chen, Xavier Kho Yong Jun, Lee Jian Hao Jayen and Sie Eng Fa Brian.
The Malaysians wanted are Tang Soon Fai, Kang Liang Yee, Tang Soon Wah, Hoe Ming Wei, Pang Han Ee, Bernard Goh Yie Shen and Yip Chee Hoe.
The SPF stated that it is working with Interpol to issue Red Notices for the suspects’ arrest.
“The SPF will spare no effort to pursue criminals who base their operations locally or overseas and target Singapore,” the force said.
“We will work closely with foreign law enforcement agencies to bring them to justice.”
Authorities are appealing for information on the suspects’ whereabouts. Members of the public may call the SPF hotline at 1800-255-0000 (or +65 6255 0000 from overseas) or submit information online at [www.police.gov.sg/i-witness](http://www.police.gov.sg/i-witness).
The police added that all information received will be treated with strict confidentiality. - October 30, 2025
