yalol, tiagong their facial recognition very powerful one. I wonder how 14 of them can remain undetected for so long.

you hide from the law is hide in metropolitan cities or rural villages?

There are many more cases where China nationals that committed crime overseas, ran back to China and China didn't help to catch them~

Recent cases are a Chinese poured hot coffee on baby in Australia and fled the country and a series of crimes in Japan by PRCs and fled back to China~

China doesn't want to catch or hard to catch? 光明正大 go through custom or stay at their registered china address is easy, but if they hide elsewhere, China so big not easy to find leh.

They want to find some of their own criminals also cannot find. Last time they were very serious about their one child policy, even some pregnant women went into hiding they also bobian.

[jonesftw]

I see why SG didn't flag him, the crime he committed was in China~

remember SG police had sought China help to apprehend 14 PRCs that linked to house breaking cases in Bt Timah, till now no sound no picture~ you help China, they won't help you the same way~

Looks bad on SG? Haiz.

Singapore police said they didn’t arrest a Chinese national accused of money laundering, because they were not asked to do so by authorities in China, even though an Interpol Red Notice had been issued for him.

Yan Zhenxing, a Singapore permanent resident in his early 40s, was detained on Monday by Indonesian authorities after he arrived at a ferry terminal in Batam, a popular resort island south of the city state. He had travelled there from Singapore, according to Indonesia’s state news agency Antara.

The Indonesian report said Yan is a fugitive wanted by Interpol China for online gambling, and that he is suspected of being involved in a criminal gang that allegedly laundered money. Yan went to Batam for a holiday with his family, the Associated Press reported earlier. Indonesian authorities announced his arrest at a press conference on Thursday, and showed him handcuffed and flanked by immigration officers.

The development raised questions about how Yan had been living in Singapore while there was an Interpol Red Notice — which alerts police about internationally wanted fugitives — for him.

The Singapore Police Force said in response to Bloomberg News queries that it was aware of the Interpol Red Notice against Yan. Under Singapore laws, the notice “does not confer the police with the powers to arrest a fugitive wanted by a foreign jurisdiction”, it said in a joint statement with the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority.

“The police would only be able to do so pursuant to an extradition request that fulfills legal requirements. We had not received any request for assistance from the Chinese authorities,” they said.

There wasn’t an Interpol notice for Yan at the point when he was granted permanent residency in Singapore, the agencies added.

They also said Yan “is not currently under any investigation”, and that he wasn’t implicated or investigated in a recent record S$3 billion (US$2.2 billion or RM9.88 billion) money-laundering case that involved many China-born individuals who were residing in Singapore.

I am puzzled too.

"Yusman said Yan, a permanent resident of Singapore, was arriving in Batam for holiday with his family when he was detained."

So meaning he cleared SG's customs and got on the ferry but kena at Batam side?

 

[Ironside]

This Yan is silly enough to go into Indonesia.

....

Yan’s case has sparked questions about Singapore’s approach to international fugitives and its enforcement of legal obligations.

While it is said that Singapore does not arrest fugitives, the country has previously refused entry to individuals flagged by Interpol, such as Spanish fugitive Salvador Alejandro Llinas Onate, who was deported in October 2024.

One might argue that Singapore’s handling of Yan’s case appears inconsistent with its stated commitment to international law enforcement.

This issue also ties into broader criticisms of Singapore’s regulatory framework.

I think is logical. If you want a fugitive you need to raise a request. Nothing wrong. China did not make this request what.

Sometimes even if you apply interpol and also make request for arrest also no use. Jho Low is a good example. Now also dunno staying where.
