SINGAPORE: A 47-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly cheating more than 80 people who thought they had booked a Haj tour, the police said in a news release on Thursday (Aug 16).
They were scheduled to depart on Thursday and had paid a total of S$98,250 to the man, who manages a local tour agency, the police said.


However, no flight confirmation and visa details were received, the police added.
A report was lodged on Wednesday and the man was arrested later that day after officers from the Central Police Division established his identity.
"Preliminary investigations revealed that he had allegedly misled the victims to believe that they could go for Haj tours at discounted rates," the police said.
The victims had handed over their passports and made payments to the man in order to secure a place on the tour.


The police also seized some Singapore passports and cash amounting to S$196,950 for investigations.
The man will be charged in court on Friday and may be jailed for up to 10 years and fined, if he is found guilty.
"The Police would like to advise the public who wish to perform the Haj to make enquiries on Haj registration with the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis)."
In a statement, Muis said that those who wish to perform the Haj need to register with the council under the Advance Haj Registration System. Only travel agents who are appointed by Muis are allowed to provide Haj services, it added.

Do you realize that there aren't many Malay businessmen around. Not only in Singapore but in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines etc.... IQ and RACE … also ethnic Indian businesses are too few and far in between as well. Cheating and conning are in their DNA.

Not all Malays are Malay. One Malay is actually an Indian as stated in her NRIC. Uniquely Singapore.

SINGAPORE: A well-known religious teacher was on Friday (Aug 17) charged with one count of cheating in a case involving a Haj travel package.

Fahrorazi Sohoi, 47, is accused of deceiving Mr Mohammad Farehan Mohammad Hussein into paying him S$1,550 to perform "VIP Haj" on the invitation of the Saudi Embassy, the charge sheet said.

Mr Farehan is one of more than 80 victims affected by the Haj travel scam.

All of them paid a total of $98,250 to go for Haj, the police said in a news release.

Fahrorazi, also known as Ustaz Fahrurazi Kiayi Kassim among the local Muslim community, was arrested on Wednesday after a police report was lodged earlier that day.

The victims were scheduled to depart on Thursday but had not received any flight confirmation and visa details, the police said. They had handed over their passports to Fahrorazi, who manages a local tour agency, in order to secure a place on the tour.

The police seized some Singapore passports and cash amounting to S$196,950.

Fahrorazi is currently remanded at the Central Police Division. When his charge was read at the State Courts on Friday, he appeared via a live video conference, Berita Mediacorp said.

He was seen wearing a white T-shirt with his hands cuffed, and no plea was made, the report added.

Fahrorazi has been conducting religious classes since 1995, according to news reports.

He is the son of Mr Kiayi Kassim Adnan, also a well-known religious teacher who taught many of Singapore's top Islamic clerics.

Fahrorazi has been known to attract crowds of 15,000 to his sermons at the Singapore Expo.

If found guilty, he could be jailed for up to 10 years and fined. The next court hearing will take place at 11am on Aug 24.

[Hypocrite-The]

Not all Malays r practising Muslims and not all practising Muslims r Malays.

If a m&d is not a practicing mudslime. He or she will be ostracized by his family n gang. So wat talking u?

 

[halsey02]

In accordance to PAP logic, this religious teacher was not paid well, he should have been paid starting at 'peanut' rate a month for his classes, so that, he will not be tempted to steal or cheat money.

1 'peanut' = S$600,000 ( official rate)

 

[songsongjurong]

Tats their opinion. Did they speak on behalf of all 1 billion over Muslims? When i die do they answer on my behalf my good or bad deeds to the Lord? To me Sunni or Shia, they are still muslims. They may practise slight different but they believe in one true God i.e. Allah swt.
