Minister Shanmugam should solve the scam problem instead of fixing critics
#1

He spend his time an effort to go after bloomberg  and TOC just over some article on GCB that mention him.

In the meantime

Quote:On Jan 9, 2025, the police said that between Aug 28, 2024, and the end of the year, at least 1,591 cases of impersonation scams featuring Chinese companies were reported, with total losses amounting to at least $27.9 million.

As mimister of Home Affairs he is in charge of the SPF . The crime of scams has been escalating. What is the police doing?

I find the most useless thing which the govt keep doing and completely does not work  is to tell people to "Beware of scams" because vctims cannot tell that its a scam. Its like telling people to "beware of  bad people" ..but you cant tell who is a bad person so what is the use. In fact these days many scams start with the scammer telling the victim the he has been scammed and he is the police calling to  help.  So the scammer now leaverage on the "Beware of scam" messaging by the govt to conduct his scam.

Believe me there is more the govt can do. And those of you who believe the govt has done every thing it can shoulf considers how the UK reduced scams to nearly zero...and why other govts are following suit.

Stopping the majroity of fraud involve 2 steps

1. Stop overseas transfers.except at bank branches or special applications with waiting time. Make exceptions for busiensses.

2. Tigthen the receiving end of transfers to make them traceable so you can catch perpertrators. If both sender and receivers aee local you should be able to catch


3. Make financial institutions compensate victims.

Personal reputation is more important than our lives, lah

Wrong priorities and wrong focus maybe "selfish"

That is why they failed to contribute correctly at the right time, at the right place.

Thank you Jac for highlighting.

Quote:According to the Singapore Police Force's annual crime statistics, in 2023, there were 23,931 reported scam cases, with total losses amounting to S$1.16 billion.

Would you like to know more about the types of scams that were most common in Singapore last year, or perhaps some tips on how to avoid falling prey to scams?

23900 scams and the minister who is in charge  spends time on POFMA and interrogation of opposition members in parliament.

Shouldn't he interrogate himself on what should be done to safegaurd Singaporeans

Becauee the PAP does not like criticism they created laws like POFMA which only has been used on critics and opposition  members.

But scams affecting  23900 Singaporeans ....shouldnt this be a national crisis that requires urgent solutions.

I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

I think our ministers are smarter. Things that they cannot solve, keep quiet and do nothing. Do only those things that they are capable of.
