Malaysian who did PhD in Singapore banned from re-entry after engaging in political activism: Singapore Ministry of Home Affairs Dzulqarnain Muhamad has been sentenced to seven months’ jail after pleading to two counts of cheating involving over S$11,700 in total.
- Photo: ST SINGAPORE: A man has been sentenced to seven months’ jail after he duped transport company GrabTaxi Holdings into making payments for delivery jobs he had not done.The group’s actions had caused the company over S$58,000 in losses, the police had said in November 2025. In total, 5,540 fraudulent transactions were made, and Dzulqarnain’s offences involved more than $13,500. On Friday , he was given the jail sentence after he pleaded to two counts of cheating involving over $11,700 in total. A third cheating charge relating to the remaining amount was considered during his sentencing. He has made no restitution.The cases involving the three others – Alex Wang Xiang Yi, 30; Lee Yong Ze, 31; and Loh Jing Jie, 33 – are pending. According to court documents, five Grab drivers were involved in the ruse, but the fifth person, who was not named, was not charged on Nov 28, 2025.Grab drivers are paid a commission fee for every successful delivery. Should they fail to make the delivery, they must return the item to the sender and indicate on the Grab mobile application that the parcel was returned.Deputy Public Prosecutor Jheong Siew Yin said the drivers behind the fraudulent transactions would accept GrabExpress bookings and immediately indicate on the application that the parcel was returned.The DPP said that each of the five drivers also operated multiple Grab driver accounts under the names of other people but used their own profile photos. “These drivers also exploited the fact that Grab did not conduct cross-checks of the profile photos of Grab drivers,” DPP Jheong said.As part of the ruse, a third Grab driver would log in to his own account from Dzulqarnain’s phone.Dzulqarnain could then use a facial recognition function to access the other driver’s account.In June and July 2025, Dzulqarnain repeatedly exploited the loophole and cheated Grab on more than 930 occasions. Grab made payments to the two drivers’ Grab wallets, and Dzulqarnain then transferred the money to his own bank account.During internal checks, Grab detected 5,540 fraudulent transactions from 24 Grab driver accounts operated by five drivers.for breaking news alerts and key updates!
