Five Singaporeans are wanted by Interpol for serious crimes committed in Singapore.

Interpol, which stands for International Criminal Police Organisation, is an international organisation that facilitates police cooperation and crime control among different countries, such as calling for public information on wanted international fugitives.
The five Singaporeans wanted by Interpol appear on the “Red Notice” list.
A "Red Notice" is a request for law enforcement agencies all over the world to look out for a suspect who’s wanted for prosecution or punishment in a specific country.
The five Singaporeans wanted for serious crimes were suspected to have committed money fraud, accepting bribes, murder, and kidnapping.
