During a press briefing on the annual crime report, the National Crime Prevention Council told Mothership that it was challenging to reach out to youths, who may be more vulnerable to cybercrime.
Cybercrime, which includes scams, was the main driver of crime in Singapore in 2019, rising by a hefty 53.5 per cent year-on-year.
NCPC had shared that although they were doing their best to warn Singaporean youths, even engaging local media companies to endorse crime prevention, their words sometimes fall on deaf ears.

Bukit Merah NPC, you're doing it right.
