Sun Xueling on duration of scam investigations
The time taken to complete scam investigations depends on factors such as the type of scam, how well the scammer covers his tracks and whether the money has been transferred overseas. The time taken to investigate cases differs significantly, said Minister of State for Home Affairs Sun Xueling. Replying to an MP's question in Parliament on Tuesday (Nov 29), she also said bank accounts suspected to be involved in scam operations will be frozen by the police. The freeze will be lifted when investigations are completed. Those whose bank accounts are frozen can apply to the courts to withdraw money for reasonable living or legitimate expenses, she said.
