SINGAPORE – A Singaporean has admitted that he was a member of a transnational unlicensed moneylending syndicate, earning around $500,000 in profit from 2006 to 2019.

“This was done by ‘Xiao Fu’, who would arrange for the runners or debtors in Singapore to conduct harassments of other debtors, which included sending letters, splashing paint on the unit, writing on the wall and locking of gates.” DPP Koh said that Ah Ren was also the “tua towkay” or “big boss” in Hokkien, while another person, known only as “Lak Ya” was a towkay, or “boss”, in the group.
