Govt has done a bad job of managing scams
#1

There are some things they could do, for example, by telling us how certain scams are carried out.

Until now, I'm not sure how scanning a QR code could take away tens of thousands of dollors away from a person. Maybe this could be done but it makes use of certain loopholes. Tell us what are those loopholes.

Also, tell us why certain purchase no need 2-factor authentication. Is it because vendor choose not to have this feature? 

Serious lack of info is causing panic in everyone. 

I hold this govt partially accountable for this.

1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..

By what means do these 3rd party apps allow money to be trabsferred? By taking ownership of the phone? Why isn't the govt providing more info to us?

China scammers know singaporean v rich mah..thats why

Every scammer knows Singapore is a place to come to because govt takes a hands off approach....

Recently so manh scams compared with other countries...why? Because new bank transfers implemented without physical token, etc

Why Lehman minibonds so many Singaporeans lost money but not a single person lost 1 cent in Malaysia? Because Malaysian regulators were awake and disallowed it.

Are we considered a first world country? If so, Why our country is so lapse in control? MAS shd step in to enforced stricter regulatory laws on local banks to shore-up their responsibilities and protections for customers, instead of evading accountabilities.

That Shoot Blank Queen only came up with a deflated idea

To have Govt agencies registered in some XX so that they can send out text messages

As if scammers cannot register with Fraud Co. Worldwide and send out text

To be fair, idea is not thought up by her. Ministers never have to think of new ideas. In fact, solutions are not provided by them either.

That is after the crime has been committed. The public needs to know the tricks of the scammers so that we can prevent ourselves from being scammed.
