Bank staff who helped prevent scams at branches among those who stepped up
Ms Azlinah Amin, service manager of UOB's main branch in Raffles Place, was on duty during the height of the gold buy rush in April when an elderly man walked in.
He asked if he could buy gold from the branch, but Ms Azlinah, 54, noticed that he was constantly checking his phone and texting.
The man wanted to buy $700,000 worth of gold to hand over to someone he had never met, but, with her patience and persistence, Ms Azlinah saved him from losing all his savings to a scam syndicate.
On Oct 7, the National Crime Prevention Council held its first Crime Prevention Awards at its annual appreciation dinner at the Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel to recognise organisations which helped prevent crime.
Minister of State for Home Affairs Goh Pei Ming, who is also Minister of State for Social and Family Development, attended the ceremony, where 10 organisations were given awards for their crime-fighting contributions.
They were Marina Bay Sands, Meta, Motorola Solutions, UOB, OCBC Bank, Courts, Sheng Siong, Shopee, Singapore Pools and Tik-Tok.
