SINGAPORE — The mayor of a small town in the Philippines, who is said to own 16 vehicles and a helicopter, has been linked to two foreigners arrested in Singapore's $3 billion money laundering case. The revelation emerged when Alice Guo, mayor of Bamban in Tarlac, a province north of Manila, was investigated by the Senate of the Philippines over her alleged involvement in illegal scam hubs. Guo had incorporated Baofu Land Development in 2019 with Zhang Ruijin and Lin Baoying, as well as Philippine national Rachel Joan Malonzo Carreon and Cypriot national Huang Zhiyang. According to media reports, the company built a compound in Bamban that allegedly housed illegal scam operations. Chinese national Zhang, 45, who also holds a passport issued by Saint Kitts and Nevis, was sentenced to 15 months' jail after he pleaded guilty in Singapore on April 30 to money laundering and forgery charges. His lover and fellow Chinese national Lin, 44, who also holds a passport from Dominica, faces 10 charges, including the use of forged documents and possession of benefits of criminal conduct. She is expected to plead guilty on May 30.

A video of the incident was posted on Sgfollowall's Instagram page on Monday. «He was barking to get people's attention, and the leash was too short so he had to stand on his two hind legs to get some air,» wrote the shopper in the video. «Why bring your dog when you know Ikea is not pet-friendly?» the unnamed shopper questioned. https://www.instagram.com/p/C7bOwoNBcP0/?hl=en In the post's caption, the shopper said that they also reported the incident to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). The shopper said they eventually alerted Ikea staff to the incident. According to the post, security staff eventually rescued the dog while another staff member tried to look for the owner.
He refused to cut his habits, so his family severed ties with him. A single mum in Malaysia has put out ads and held a press conference to disown her debt-ridden son, The Star reported last Saturday (May 25). «He would beg me for help each time and I always felt sorry for him,» Chia Hui Chiang, 62, said at a media conference called by Johor MCA Youth public services and complaints bureau chief Henry Mok last Friday. «I even used up my retirement savings and yet he is deep in his habits of gambling and drug abuse.» The retired teacher had reportedly given her 36-year-old son over RM100,000 (S$28,700) to pay off his debts. She said her son left their home on May 21 and they've not heard from him since. However, his absence was certainly felt. Chia said creditors harassed her and her family, demanding that they pay off his RM59,100 debt, which does not include interest. Chia also put out an ad in a Chinese newspaper, letting the public — and loan sharks — know that she had cut ties with him, and to look for him directly for repayment.
