SINGAPORE – A Singaporean who was among 31 remaining suspects on the run over their suspected links to a scam ring operating in Cambodia has been arrested.
Jayen Lee Jian Hao, 32, was nabbed by Thai police in Bangkok, before being handed over to the authorities here on Dec 4, said the Singapore police.
He is believed to be a member of an
organised group based in Cambodian capital Phnom Penh

Thirty-four suspects were initially on the run.
Two Singaporeans, deported from Cambodia and Thailand,
were charged on Nov 17
