A 35-year-old Malaysian man, Tan Kang Yung, was sentenced to five years and 10 months in prison and fined S$2,000 in Singapore for his role in a transnational crime syndicate that controlled 70 bank accounts across seven Singaporean banks.
The group, operating from Johor Bahru, Malaysia, laundered over S$837,000, with nearly S$43,000 tied to scams reported in Singapore.
Tan, who joined to repay debts to unlicensed lenders, opened accounts and later acted as a handler for 12 money mules.
He was arrested in Malaysia in August 2024, extradited to Singapore, and became the first to plead guilty.
