SINGAPORE: The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said on 4 December that a 32-year-old Singaporean man linked to a Cambodia-based scam syndicate will be charged in court on 5 December 2025.
Lee Jian Hao, Jayen, was arrested in Bangkok by the Royal Thai Police before being deported and handed over to SPF.
According to SPF, Lee is believed to be a member of an organised criminal group operating from Phnom Penh.
Police said the group allegedly targeted Singapore victims with government official impersonation scams.
SPF noted that the group is linked to at least 438 cases involving losses of at least S$41 million (US$31.6 million), according to its press release.
The syndicate purportedly ran its operations from a Phnom Penh scam compound disrupted on 9 September.
SPF said this disruption followed a joint operation with the Cambodian National Police.
In October, police disclosed the identities of 27 Singaporeans and seven Malaysians wanted in connection with the group.
Lee had been among the listed suspects when the names were released.
He will be charged with one count of facilitating a serious offence in furtherance of the illegal purpose of a locally linked organised criminal group.
If convicted, he faces up to five years’ imprisonment, a fine of up to S$100,000 or both.
SPF previously charged several other suspects linked to the syndicate.
On 17 November, two Singaporeans were charged: Wayne Soh You Chen, 27, arrested in Phnom Penh, and Brian Sie Eng Fa, 32, arrested during a raid in Khon Kaen, Thailand.
On 18 November, Malaysian citizen Bernard Goh Yie Shen, 24, was charged after being arrested by the Cambodian National Police and deported to Malaysia.
30 suspects remain at large
Police said 24 Singaporean suspects and six Malaysian suspects remain at large.
The Singaporeans who are still wanted include Ng Wei Liang, Andrew Tay Jing An, Finan Siow and Francis Tan Thuan Heng.
Previous reports indicated that Ng, 32, had allegedly received a tip-off shortly before the Cambodian National Police (CNP) launched its operation in September.
Others are Jonathan Pek Ser Siang, Lam Yong Yan, Leon Chia Tee Song and Lim Ee Siong.
The list also includes Wong Yao Zong, Clarence Ng Jun Rong, Dilwin Tay Meng Wei and Dinesh.
Additional names are Kiang Wayne, Lam An Tuyen Daniel, Lim Jing En Kyan and Neo Zhi Bin.
Police continue to seek Ngiam Siow Jui, Phua Sheng Kai Audric, Poh Yang Ting and Sim Zong Yuan.
The remaining wanted individuals are Tan Darren, Tan Kai Siang, Tan Li Sen and Xavier Kho Yong Jun.
The six Malaysians still sought are Tang Soon Fai, Kang Liang Yee, Tang Soon Wah and Hoe Ming Wei.
The list also includes Pang Han Ee and Yip Chee Hoe.
SPF urged anyone with information to contact the police hotline at 1800-255-0000.
Overseas callers may dial +65 6255 0000 or submit information online.
SPF reiterated that all information received will be kept strictly confidential.
