💰Malaysian man arrested at Singapore Tuas Checkpoint with nearly $400,000 - unlawful

💰 Malaysian man arrested at Singapore Tuas Checkpoint along with nearly $400,000 - admitting to being an assistant to an illegal money broker 💰

Police arrested Diong Gin Ing, a 56-year-old Malaysian man who was carrying 1,621 Malaysian ringgit (nearly $4,000,000 in total) from Tuas Checkpoint to Singapore in May 2025.

📍 Where did you get the money from?

According to court charges, this money came from illegal money-raising in Malaysia (Loan Shark), illegal 4D sharpening and helping horse-gambling operations.

* seniority:

This man has been involved in these illegal activities for 6 years

* aim

The audit revealed that he had carried this big cash print and planned to come and gamble at the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) casino in Singapore.

🤥 Fraudulent statements and errors

This man did not properly declare the amount of money when he crossed the border

1. Money Exchange

He exchanged his money for Singapore dollars at an illegal exchange center before entering Singapore

2) Fraud

He initially announced the money he was carrying was $4,000,000, but (announcing more than he actually has) he falsely claimed that the money would be used to start a "fishing business (fishball business)." Only later did he admit to playing a casino.

⚖️ The judgment of the court

On 26 March, Diong pleaded guilty and the court sentenced him to 10 months and 3 days in prison.

* charges

The possession of the proceeds of the crime, the use of it and the carrying without properly declaring the currency exceeding $20,000

* judge's opinion

Although he did illegal work in Malaysia and cheated, the penalty was automatically imposed because there was no evidence that this money would be used for illegal work in Singapore. (For declaring a higher amount of money, he included 3 days in prison exclusively)

💡 Can you do a tutorial on what?

1) Declare currency

If you carry more than $20,000 (or the same value of other foreign currencies) to Singapore, you must certainly declare it at the border. If you don't announce it, the money will also be confiscated and you may end up in jail.

2. Illegal Exchange Centre

Swapping in illegal exchange areas is dangerous and not without law.

3. Don't take out lies

Lying to the authorities only makes the punishment heavier

"Every time you carry a lot of money, you are not rich. If it is unlawful, you can go to jail." 💸👮‍♂️
