A Malaysian man and a Singaporean woman accused of handling fraudulently registered SIM cards used by scammers were taken to mobile phone shops in Boon Lay for investigations on Sunday (May 10) morning.<\/p>\n
Malaysian national Liew Ming Han, 28, was cuffed at his wrists and ankles as he was led by officers to a shop inside Boon Lay Bus Interchange at about 9.05am on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He kept his head bowed throughout questioning.<\/p>\n
Liew was charged on Saturday with the facilitation of fraudulent registration of SIM card that facilitates criminal activity.<\/p>\n
Court documents seen by AsiaOne state that Liew was a retailer at the mobile phone shop when he allegedly registered a SIM card using the personal information of another person, who did not consent to the registration.<\/p>\n
He had been arrested on May 7 in a police raid against errant retailers involved in the registration of postpaid SIM cards used by scam syndicates.<\/p>\n
Singaporean Chen Zhuqin, 51, was also arrested in the same raid for allegedly supplying fraudulently registered SIM cards to a scam syndicate.<\/p>\n
She was also charged in court on Saturday with the transacting of SIM card registered using another person’s personal information for criminal activity.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Chen had passed an unknown person at least 10 such SIM cards between December 2025 and January 2026.<\/p>\n
On Sunday morning, a masked-up Chen was brought to a mobile phone shop at Boon Lay Shopping Centre and questioned there for about five minutes.<\/p>\n
