Walao…Whole of China is a scam organization with layers of networks and scams. No one can tell when and which scam will be exposed but it definitely will not occur when its backer is in power. So, good luck to those 52 Singaporeans implicated in this pyramid scheme🙂↔️.
Singapore government should not waste time and public money saving them.
guangxi nanning.. people tell u that it is a closed door policy.. tell u to visit the place.. dont listen to their bullshit!
The Fast Lane Metaphor: Money ≠ Speed.
Think of your financial journey like driving a high-performance car. Being obsessed with making money is like a driver trying to push their fast car to its 300 km/h limit every time they hit the road. That kind of speed isn’t always realistic—or safe—no matter how skilled the driver.
In the same way, no financial product, strategy, or piece of advice—no matter how appealing—can promise consistent, safe returns under all conditions. Just as a driver must respect changing road conditions, a smart investor must respect market volatility, risk, and timing.

New citizen from China. Congulation. PAP
Some of the staff working at the singapore anti-scam center are the scammers themselves, but nobody knows about it.
I've lived and work in China for 26 years and this news affect others like myself. These criminals should be punished by the full extend of Chinese laws and not be given any mercy because they are aware of what their doing is illegal.
Embarassing
These Singaporeans detained, likely to be former Mainland Chinese? What do you think? Many Mainland Chinese of the wrong kind converted to Singapore Citizenships. Singapore also granted citizenships to these people so easily, the kinds that you don’t wish to be your fellow citizens.
52 ?!?!? That is huge quantity! For serious case, criminals will be executed. In ancient times, head cutter would use a heavy knife and cut the criminal head. For not that serious case, they will be given free food and free lodging in the prison. Can govt cancel their citizenship? If not, they might come back and do pyramid things
why assist them if they commit a crime there, if we can prison a PRC here in SG, the communist can also put them in prison there too. If they need to put a bullet in their head, the scammers need to accountable for.
I thought 🤔 Singapore is one of the highest income per capita in the world? What is this world their doing to dupe 😠 the world through their get rich quick scam scheme?
You can keep them.
