Sony Rehan, a 38-year-old trader based in Dubai, is in Singapore for the weekend to take part in trading card events, including a convention where he sells rare Pokémon cards. Rehan says he is not a traditional card dealer; he has spent the past six years trading foreign exchange and cryptocurrency. He describes his involvement with cards as starting as a passion project, but he now treats it increasingly as an investment. Both outlets say his trip to Singapore follows a meeting in Dubai: while attending a trade show, he connected with Singaporean collectors. The collectors then invited him to join Singapore’s growing trading card scene.

The reporting emphasizes his cross-border participation and his background in finance-related trading, while focusing on how a Dubai encounter leads to his presence in Singapore for the card convention.
