SINGAPORE, Oct 31 — Two brothers and their cousin are believed to be the masterminds behind a Singapore-linked scam syndicate operating out of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, The Straits Times reported.

The group was allegedly led by 32-year-old Ng Wei Liang, one of 27 Singaporeans wanted by police for suspected involvement in 438 scam cases involving losses of at least S$41 million (RM144 million).

According to the news report, Wei Liang allegedly started the operation in 2024 and recruited his brother, renovation contractor Ng Wei Kang, 33, his girlfriend Christy Neo Wei En, 29, and cousin Lester Ng Jing Hai, 29, who is said to hold a senior role in the operation.

Wei Kang, Neo and Lester were charged in September under the Organised Crime Act and denied bail on October 2 over possible collusion risks.

Twelve others, including two Malaysians and a Filipina, were charged with them.

When contacted by The Straits Times, Wei Kang’s wife said the allegations “came as a shock” and described her husband as “a very ordinary man”.

“He’s at home 99 per cent of the time, and runs a renovation firm with his father,” she was quoted as saying.

She added that her family had little contact with Wei Liang, who has been living abroad.

“I have not seen Wei Liang for two years. I don’t think he comes back to Singapore,” she was quoted as saying.

The Straits Times said its checks found that Wei Liang had been involved in furniture manufacturing and ran several companies, including events, advertising and management consultancy firms, between 2014 and 2021.

Citing Singapore police, the newspaper reported that the syndicate allegedly ran a government official impersonation scam targeting Singapore victims, tricking them into transferring money to accounts controlled by the group.

In a statement on October 29, the Singapore Police Force said arrest warrants have been issued against 27 Singaporeans and seven Malaysians, and it is working with Interpol to issue Red Notices to locate them.

The gang’s activities were disrupted when Singapore police launched a coordinated operation in Cambodia and Singapore on September 9.
