Singaporean Busted in Melaka for Cloning Debit Cards, Fueling Japan’s Black Market Scandal

A 42-year-old Singaporean was arrested in Melaka for allegedly cloning debit cards and selling them on Japan’s black market. Following months of surveillance, police raided a Tengkera condominium, seizing a computer, phones, a laser cutting machine, 229 debit cards (including 227 JDB Bank Laos cards), and cash. The suspect, renting the unit since January, cloned data onto blank cards, embedding chips and magnetic stripes to create premium debit cards registered under Japanese names. Earning S$3,800 monthly, he faces charges for cheating, unlawful possession of payment instruments, and breaching immigration terms.
