A total of 346 people aged between 16 and 76 are being investigated for their involvement in scams where victims have reportedly lost more than $13.8 million. In a two-week operation conducted by the Commercial Affairs Department and the seven Police land divisions between 16 and 29 August this year, some 231 men and 115 women were found to be involved in more than 1,300 cases as scammers or money mules, the police said in a news release on Friday (August 30). The scams comprises mainly job scams, friend impersonation scams, fake buyer scams, e-commerce scams, investment scams and internet love scams. The police, who said they take a serious stance against anyone involved in scams, added that “to avoid being an accomplice to crimes, members of the public should always reject requests by others to use your bank accounts or mobile lines as you will be held liable if they are linked to crimes.” Those found guilty of cheating face a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine. Those convicted of money laundering can be jailed up to 10 years, fined up to $500,000, or both.
Investigations are currently underway on whether the 21 «beautiful» blue-crowned hanging parrots found trapped in an industrial estate were illegally imported into Singapore, wildlife group Acres said on Thursday (Aug 29). Acres - or the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society - said that they received reports from informants about an industrial unit in Sims Drive displaying these blue-crowned parrots between June and October last year. «These beautiful birds were found crammed into tiny metal cages on the unit's exterior,» added Acres in an Instagram post. Acres said that they later found 21 parrots in makeshift cages, and raised serious concerns about their welfare and the presence of traps. Once regarded as endangered, blue-crowned hanging parrots are currently listed under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (Cities). This means that permits are required to import the species into Singapore.
No administrative charges will be incurred for ERP (Electronic Road Pricing) fees made within a five-day grace period come October this year, Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat said on August 30. This comes ahead of a new feature on the next-generation ERP 2.0 on-board unit (OBU) that will alert motorists to missed payments, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on the same day. The new feature, which can also be used to facilitate payments, will be rolled out in mid-2025. The roll-out of the ERP 2.0 system means motorists can eventually make such payments via the OBU display, said Chee at the Ministry of Transport's office in Alexandra Road. «With the installation of ERP 2.0, there's no longer a need for us to send them a letter, and therefore, there's no longer a need for LTA to charge them the $10 admin fee,» he added. Chee said that from Oct 1, if a motorist has ERP arrears, LTA will send them an SMS and give them a five-day grace period to make the payment.
