flag Singapore police banned 121 cars linked to SRS Auto in a money laundering probe involving a Cambodian businessman indicted in the U.S. for fraud and forced labor.

flag Singapore police have issued 121 disposal prohibition orders on vehicles linked to SRS Auto amid a multi-agency probe into money laundering in the car leasing sector. flag The investigation, launched in 2024, targets Cambodian businessman Chen Zhi, indicted in the U.S. on October 14, 2025, on wire fraud and money laundering charges, and alleged to have run forced-labor operations in Cambodia. flag Authorities are examining his ties to Singapore-based firms, including those connected to 2 Jalan Kilang Barat, where SRS Auto’s owner Tan Yew Kiat, arrested in late November, and his daughter Chen Xiaoxuan—also a company director—are linked. flag The probe also focuses on unregulated lease-to-own schemes offering up to 100% financing with high interest rates, which lack consumer protections. flag Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow warned the public to avoid such non-regulated loans.
