Unmasked: Bosses behind Chen Zhi's global scam syndicate hired Singaporeans as personal assistants

SINGAPORE — They were recruited through friends or over drinks, and within a few years the Singaporeans found themselves flying on private planes and driving luxury cars as they ran favours for their bosses.From 2017, Alfred Law Hon Kit, Ryan Lee Chee Keong, Jason Teo Jing Shen and Alex Lim Zhongliang ended up working for companies and individuals linked to Cambodian national Chen Zhi.Chen Zhi is the chairman of Prince Holding Group, a conglomerate that was involved in everything from real estate to banking. According to the US Treasury, the company was a front for a multibillion-dollar global criminal syndicate.The Singaporeans claimed they had unknowingly stumbled into a murky world of scam compounds and money laundering.Law, Lee and Teo spoke with The Straits Times, denying knowledge of criminal activities. They said they had cut links to anything associated with Chen Zhi when the US slapped sanctions and criminal indictments against him, his associates, Prince Group and several companies linked to the conglomerate.Lim has been uncontactable.

After 4 years sleeping at lift landing, woman gets help from 30 volunteers to clear Clementi flat

A woman who had been sleeping at a lift landing for the past four years of a Clementi block can finally return to a clean and safer home, after more than 30 volunteers came together on National Day to clear her heavily cluttered flat.In a Facebook post on Sunday (Aug 9), ground-up community initiative Ang Mo Kio Secondary School Social Move (AMKSS) said the woman had been sleeping outside her home as her unit was packed with hoarded items that had piled up to the ceiling.AMKSS added that the clutter had become so extensive that there was barely enough space for the main door to open, and that the harsh living conditions from years of rough sleeping had taken a toll on the woman's health.«But, today, more than 30 amazing volunteers came together on this special National Day to give their time, energy and love to help clear her home,» it said.Volunteers uncover woman's long-forgotten belongingsThroughout the day, the charity said one highlight was witnessing the woman's reaction when volunteers uncovered some of her long-forgotten belongings.

Man who fled Singapore over 20 years ago jailed after being caught re-entering with fake identity

A 58-year-old Singaporean man was on Tuesday (Aug 11) sentenced to 14 months' and three weeks' imprisonment after he was convicted for entering and leaving Singapore illegally between 2011 and 2016, and for abscondment. Tan Khi Wie was convicted in August 2002 and sentenced to 18 months' jail for cheating the then-Singapore Productivity and Standards Board into disbursing a grant of $195,800 under the Local Enterprise Technical Assistance Scheme. He then filed a notice of appeal against his conviction and sentence the same month, but absconded from Singapore to avoid serving his sentence.A Warrant of Arrest was issued against Tan on February 20, 2003, after he failed to show up at a court mention in January that year.According to ICA, Tan left Singapore illegally for Pasir Gudang in Johor via a fishing boat sometime between August 2002 and January 2003.He then continued on to Thailand, and eventually settled in Jakarta, Indonesia, where he resided thereafter.

OCBC expands precious metals app offerings to include platinum and palladium

Singapore's second-largest bank OCBC has expanded its precious metals offering on its mobile app to include platinum and palladium bullion.Announcing this in a media release on Tuesday (Aug 11), OCBC said this will provide its retail customers with a lower entry point and greater choice to diversify within the asset class.«These new additions build on the bank’s existing digital gold and silver capabilities, which have been available to retail customers since October 2021,» it said.Prior to OCBC's move, the two precious metal types, despite being globally traded, were limited to affluent customers.OCBC's mass retail customers can now invest in platinum and palladium bullion digitally from as little as 0.01 ounces, priced at about S$23 for platinum and S$18 for palladium as of Aug 7.Head of OCBC's group wealth management, Tan Siew Lee, said in a statement that the bank is strengthening its position as a leading wealth management player and as the go-to bank for precious metals.
