Singaporean man Ngiam Siow Jui is charged for allegedly acting as a scam caller in a syndicate linked to a scam operation in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, that targets people in Singapore. The Straits Times reports that Ngiam is accused of taking calls from within the gang’s Phnom Penh call centre. Channel NewsAsia adds that he was wanted for about seven months before he was arrested in Phnom Penh and later repatriated to Singapore. Across the two reports, the case is tied to a larger organised scam gang believed to be responsible for losses amounting to about $53 million. The reports describe Ngiam as one member among the gang and focus on his role as a caller operating from the Phnom Penh facility. Both outlets present the charge as part of ongoing enforcement efforts against transnational scam activities, with authorities tracing the Singapore-targeted conduct to the Cambodia-linked operation. The reports do not provide further details on plea, trial dates, or the specific scam methods involved.
