New bill to be tabled in March to deter misuse of SIM cards for scams

A new bill will be tabled in Parliament next month to punish those who abuse local SIM cards for scams and other criminal activities. This comes as more scammers are bypassing the blocking of overseas calls by using Singapore SIM cards to make calls and send messages. The authorities had also recently announced that, from April, there will be limits on the number of SIM cards each subscriber can register for.
