SocietyAnti-scam Bill passed to target online account mules amid recourse concerns

Singapore’s Parliament passed an anti-scam Bill allowing police to order the disabling of accounts suspected of being used for scams. MPs warned innocent users could struggle to regain access to frozen accounts, while the government pledged fair, swift reviews and access to funds for essential expenses. The measure targets people supplying accounts to criminals on platforms including Carousell, TikTok and Telegram.
