Did not know materials are really worth a lot of money . And there are ready overseas buyers

it is worth some money but the processing costs of these things take a lot of man hours, chemicals and upfront costs to process the waste. furthermore the byproduct produced is hazardous to environment and health. this is why electronic waste is usually shipped to 3rd world countries for processing like india.

i do not believe this business is profitable in a place like SG due solely to the logistical nightmare to handed all the things above. have to applaud them for snooking all those ''investors''. furthermore, how much gahmen money they take? and who inside gahmen rubber stamped the money?

you have to ask yourself that also.

I recall this guy.

He will get pple to purposely damage some of the customers' products during transportation and claim as damaged. But mostly are not damaged at all. Then he will resell those products. It is almost as good as free money. Chinese call it 空手套白狼.

Those old birds here will know about this case.

After 19 years on the run over an embezzlement case involving more than US$51 million, a rogue Singaporean tycoon and his wife were arrested in Malaysia on Dec 3.

Ng Teck Lee, 58, was the chief executive officer and president of then listed recycling firm Citiraya Industries.

The company was in the business of recycling and recovering precious metals from electronic scrap, such as used computer chips.

Its clients included semiconductor giants such as AMD, Intel and Infineon.

But instead of crushing items to recover precious metals from the scrap, Ng allegedly sent the products overseas to be sold.

The Straits Times reported in 2008 that investigations revealed he had purportedly made more than US$51 million, which was worth around S$72 million at the time, from his schemes.

His wife, Thor Chwee Hwa, 55, was allegedly in cahoots with him, and the two Singaporeans fled the country in 2005 when the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) investigated the case.

The agency investigates cases of corruption and the discharging of benefits from criminal conduct, such as money laundering.

For 19 years, the couple evaded capture.
