The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Singapore Police Force (SPF) has arrested a 24-year-old Malaysian man. He is believed to be a member of an Organised Criminal Group (OCG) based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, which was purportedly involved in Government Official Impersonation Scams targeting Singapore victims.

On 28 December 2025, the 24-year-old man, Goh Eugene, was arrested by the SPF at Woodlands Checkpoint whilst entering Singapore. His identity was established through ongoing investigations against the OCG. The photographs and details of the remaining 30 suspects at large are at Annex A.

The OCG is believed to be responsible for at least 438 reported GOIS cases involving losses of at least S$41 million. The OCG operated from a scam compound in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and was disrupted during a joint operation by the SPF and the Cambodian National Police (CNP) on 9 September 2025. As part of ongoing investigations, the SPF had earlier issued prohibition of disposal orders and seized assets linked to the OCG.

The man will be charged in court on 30 December 2025 for one count of facilitating the commission of a serious offence, in furtherance of the illegal purpose of a locally-linked OCG under Section 12(2)(b) of the Organised Crime Act 2015. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to five years, a fine of up to $100,000, or both.

The SPF will spare no efforts to trace and apprehend individuals perpetrating scams and hold them fully accountable under the law. Anyone with information on their whereabouts should call the Police Hotline at 1800-255-0000 (or +65 6255 0000 for overseas callers) or submit information online at www.police.gov.sg/i-witness. All information received will be kept strictly confidential.
