M'sian woman, 73, allegedly helped scammers collect S$200,000 in cash & gold bars from S'pore victims She is believed to be a mule for a scam syndicate.
A Malaysian woman, 73, was arrested for allegedly collecting cash and gold bars from scam victims in Singapore.
She allegedly did so on at least three occasions, according to a Nov. 30 Singapore Police Force (SPF) news release.
The victims were scammed after people posed as officials from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and told them their bank accounts had been linked to money laundering activities.
They were instructed to hand over their money and valuables for investigation.
The victims complied and met unknown individuals at various locations around Singapore.
The elderly woman was allegedly one of these individuals.
S$200,000 worth of items seized
On Nov. 24, an employee at BullionStar, a gold and silver dealer at New Bridge Road, called the police to report a woman loitering suspiciously outside the shop.
The woman was arrested on the same day.
The police seized S$200 in cash and gold bars worth approximately S$200,000 from the woman, who is believed to be a scam mule.
She had allegedly helped a scam syndicate by collecting cash and gold bars from victims around Singapore.
She would then hand them over to unknown persons, believed to be members of the syndicate.
Police investigations are ongoing.
Anti-scam tips
SPF reminded members of the public to never transfer or hand over their monies and valuables to unknown people.
They should also never share the screens of their devices with any unknown person.
Singapore government officials will never do any the following:
Ask you to transfer money Ask you to disclose banking login details Ask you to install mobile apps from unofficial app stores Ask you to hand over pre-signed cheques to anyone Transfer your call to the police If in doubt, call the police hotline at 1800-255-0000, or submit it online at www.police.gov.sg/i-witness.

Half of Singaporeans are on track to earn S$6,000 per month or more from 2026
That’s a jump of almost 50% in a decade Disclaimer: Unless otherwise stated, any opinions expressed below belong solely to the author. Data sourced from the Labour Force In Singapore Advance Release 2025 report.
Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower has published its advance report for 2025, before the full release in early 2026. And while the data is still preliminary, it already shows progress on the local salary front.
The most anticipated figure—the national median—has reached S$5,775 this year, up from S$5,500 in 2024. That’s a healthy increase of 5% and 4.3% in real terms, thanks to the currently very low inflation.
For 2026, the Monetary Authority of Singapore is forecasting a somewhat softer 1 to 3% in GDP growth, but incomes usually outpace it a bit and have, over the past decade, averaged 3.9% per year.
What’s more, due to turbulences caused by the pandemic, salaries for many in the local economy have yet to catch up to where they should be, which should boost the averages.

At this pace (3.9%), the median gross monthly income from employment in Singapore would hit exactly S$6000 in 2026.This would mean that half of Singaporeans (citizens and PRs) would earn at least that much, or more.
It’s also a jump of about 50% since 2015/16, when it was just around S$4,000, and just four years after crossing the S$5,000 mark in 2022.
Of course, these are gross figures, not take-home pay, to arrive at which you have to make relevant deductions accordingly. The reason salaries are usually reported this way (not only in Singapore but worldwide) is to capture all the benefits an employee is receiving. After all, CPF contributions are diverted to your pension, housing, or healthcare bills, saving you out-of-pocket expenses in a slightly roundabout way.
They are still your earnings, just dedicated to specific purposes by law.
S$7,000 by 2030
Barring extraordinary circumstances, like a global economic crisis (which isn’t unlikely given the record bull run in the stock markets, unpredictable impact of Trump tariffs and China’s own economic problems), salaries in Singapore should continue growing at about 3 to 4% per year, which would put them on a trajectory to reach a median of S$7,000 by 2030 and roughly another S$1,000 every four years or so.
If the trends hold, by 2040, half of Singapore would make S$10,000 or more. Let’s hope inflation doesn’t erode the real value of these gains too much.
