Malaysia launches manhunt for seven linked to Singapore’s scam network

 ​[[{“value”:”

AUTHORITIES in Singapore have exposed a cross-border cybercrime syndicate, leading Malaysia to hunt down seven of its citizens. Federal Police criminal investigation department director M. Kumar confirmed that an all-points bulletin has been issued to locate and arrest the suspects, who are now on Malaysia’s national wanted list.

The move follows Singapore’s issuance of arrest warrants for the same individuals and 27 Singaporeans tied to a massive impersonation scam operation.

The network, allegedly coordinated from Phnom Penh, is accused of deceiving hundreds of victims through fake calls by scammers posing as bank officers or regulators. Victims were told their accounts were compromised and instructed to transfer funds for “security verification”, resulting in losses exceeding S$41mil.

Among those sought are brothers Tang Soon Fai, 25, and Tang Soon Wah, 31, believed to share ties with Singaporean siblings Ng Wei Liang and Ng Wei Kang, who allegedly led the syndicate.

The remaining suspects are Kang Liang Yee, Hoe Ming Wei, Pang Han Ee, Bernard Goh Yie Shen, and Yip Chee Hoe. Malaysian police are also investigating whether the group has fled abroad, with Cambodia identified as a possible hideout.

The group was allegedly led by Ng Wei Liang, 32. He is one of 27 Singaporeans wanted by the Singapore Police Force for their suspected roles in 438 scam cases involving losses of at least S$41mil.

Wei Liang had allegedly set up the operation some time in 2024, and allegedly recruited his renovation contractor brother, Wei Kang, 33, and Wei Liang’s girlfriend, Christy Neo Wei En, 29. – Nov 1, 2025
