Police probe into Jason Fong’s alleged Ponzi scheme in Singapore widens


SINGAPORE – The former wife of self-styled wealth guru Jason Fong was stopped by the authorities at Woodlands Checkpoint and searched after she returned from a trip to Malaysia on Sept 9.

It happened amid a police probe into an alleged Ponzi scheme, which saw multiple investors pour tens of thousands of dollars into Fong’s investment scheme.

Fong, who was declared an undischarged bankrupt in January, had travelled to Kuala Lumpur on a flight on June 21, and has not left Malaysia since.

His former wife, Diana Goh Geok Lee, posted her experience of being stopped at the checkpoint on Facebook, but deleted it soon after.

Her ex-husband’s investors, who have been pressing Goh for answers, kept screenshots of what she wrote.

Goh said she and her daughter were surrounded by up to six officers on her return from Kuala Lumpur. They had travelled there to visit Fong’s family.

“Without informing me of what happened, they searched my car and body in the investigation room,” said Goh.

“Later… they told me, ‘You are under investigation for Jason Fong’s cheating case.’”

Fong is being investigated over a financial scheme in which he allegedly promised investors returns of up to 15 per cent annually for money they poured into a 134 sq m property in Telok Blangah Heights, which currently houses an unmanned laundromat business.

The 46-year-old, often seen with his Lamborghini, became popular on social media as he hobnobbed with local personalities and used the attention to attract investors.
