SINGAPORE — Investors trying to get their money back from a gemstone scheme which bears the hallmarks of a multi-level marketing programme say they have been stonewalled for years. The investors, who set up a chat group of about 100 participants, include a number of elderly retirees. On Aug 23, about 10 of them turned up at the fourth floor of Ubi Techpark, in Ubi Crescent, and thumped tables and shouted at staff. The police were called in to restore calm. The Straits Times understands that they are looking into the investors' complaints. The investment scheme involved amber gemstones. Investors were awarded points, which could be redeemed for cryptocurrency tokens that promised high returns. Shonna Seow, 42, a business owner, turned up at the Ubi Techpark office on Aug 23 with her parents, who are in their 80s. She said her parents each invested $35,000 in 2017 with Global GC. Her mother told ST in Mandarin: «We didn't earn any profits, not even one cent. We only got a few hundred dollars from introducing new members. They said those were profits, but it was actually only commission.»

JAKARTA — Police in Batam, Indonesia, have arrested a Singaporean for allegedly sexually abusing his underage stepdaughter for more than two years.   Police arrested the 50-year-old man, whom they identified as AH, at his house in Mutiara View housing complex in Sekupang, Batam, Riau Islands, on Sept 7. They also confiscated two mobile phones and a passport, among other items.  «Based on our investigation, the perpetrator had sexual intercourse some 120 times with the victim. He did that repeatedly every week during his return trips to Batam,» Senior Police Commissioner Heribertus Ompusunggu, chief of Barelang precinct police, said on Sept 21. Under Indonesian law, any sexual act with a person under 18, without or with mutual agreement, including through persuasion or lies, is considered a crime. The case came to light after Sekupang police received a report from a friend of the mother of the 16-year-old victim, identified as AF. The alleged sexual abuse began soon after AF, who used to live with her grandmother in Karawang, West Java, moved to Batam to be with her mother in June 2022.

SINGAPORE — When his father did not return home for dinner on Sept 19, his mother waited with concern. But it was not unusual for Lim Choon Siew, 65, to dine out after work and have drinks with friends, said his younger son, Lin Qiyang. At about midnight, the police came knocking at the family's home in Hougang, bringing tragic news — Lim, a carpenter, was one of two victims of a fire that ravaged a signage shop, Amen International, at an industrial building in Kaki Bukit Road 4. Lin told The Straits Times at his father's wake on Sept 22: «My mother has been unstable since the fire and can't sleep. My older brother and I have to be strong for her. But I have many questions about the incident.» The distraught 28-year-old, who works in the technology and sales industry, said he wants to know if a fire alarm or sprinkler system had been triggered by the fire, and whether the two victims heard the fire alarm if it had gone off. The blaze on the fifth floor of the Synergy@KB building occurred just before 1pm, witnesses told ST.
