SINGAPORE: From October, those who have been warned, prosecuted or convicted or are under investigation for mule-related offences may be barred from registering new phone lines, and restricted from accessing banking and national authentication services.
The new measures are part of a joint effort by the Singapore Police Force, Monetary Authority of Singapore, Infocomm Media Development Authority and Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech) to restrict mules from accessing facilities that can be exploited to facilitate scams.
