\u201cEven as we provide consular assistance to the affected Singaporeans, I would like to emphasise that the Singapore government does not interfere in the judicial process and investigations of other countries, just as we expect foreign governments to respect our laws and legal process,\u201d said Ms Sim.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Singapore government will continue to pay close attention to the case, and stress that due process should be accorded to our citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Sim also reiterated that Singaporeans should exercise caution when considering business or investment schemes, whether overseas or local.<\/p>\n
This is especially so for schemes involving the recruitment of participants, upfront payment of large sums of money or promises of unusually high returns, she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSingaporeans travelling or residing overseas are reminded to abide by the laws of their host countries,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
