Sim Ann on Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
Scammers and syndicate members will face mandatory caning in Singapore under an amended law passed on Tuesday (Nov 4). Speaking in parliament, Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs Sim Ann said that the legislation distinguishes between different levels of involvement and genuine victims who have been deceived into providing a scam tool would not be penalised. The amendments also introduce tougher penalties for large-scale circulation of obscene material, harsher sentences for the fatal abuse of vulnerable victims, and criminalise the doxxing of public servants.
