SINGAPORE: A Malaysian man linked to a Phnom Penh-based scam syndicate will be charged in court on Tuesday (Nov 18), after he was arrested by the Cambodian National Police (CNP) in the country’s capital and deported to Malaysia on Monday.
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said on Monday night that Bernard Goh Yie Shen, 24, was arrested by the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) following his deportation, before being handed over to SPF on the same day.
Goh is believed to be part of a group of 27 Singaporeans and seven Malaysians wanted by the police for their involvement in government official impersonation scams targeting and cheating Singapore victims.
On Monday, Singaporeans Wayne Soh You Chen, 27, and Brian Sie Eng Fa, 32, were charged with being scam callers in the same syndicate. Both men were deported to Singapore from Cambodia and Thailand, and arrested on their arrival a day earlier.
