Singapore ramps up fight against scams with new cyber command

The Singapore Police Force will launch a dedicated Cyber Command in July, bringing together around 200 officers to tackle scams and cybercrime. The unit will focus on detecting threats upstream, taking down fake platforms and tracing cryptocurrency losses. Authorities say the proactive move is key as scammers adopt advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence. With losses exceeding S$900 million last year, Singapore is also strengthening international cooperation to disrupt transnational syndicates. Noah Kong reports.
