so it appeared in Straits Time on 2nd Nov 2007 before?Originally posted by AlessandroTan:u mean se appear in 2day st again???

read this about someone's case agaist EGA//Originally posted by pierre2084:in reference to the the website of Sunshine Empire http://www.sunshine-empire.com/ .. under the section Ewallet Withdrawal. It states there that
"Dear Our Valued Merchants (for Singapore),
We are in the midst of switching bank services to a global bank in order to serve everyone on a global level, all e-wallet withdrawal to bank accounts for the month of October will take 14 working days instead of the usual 7 working days to process your withdrawal.
Apologies for any inconveniences caused."
according to some informal insider information from bank directors in Singapore, It seems that local singapore banks are trying to cut all ties with Sunshine. This strategy is exactly how the triads money launder by opening an account wif the swiss bank which funds and information are undetectable. Since the funds will be pulled out of Singapore and Singaporean banks, its very obvious that the scam is coming to an end and the contingency plan is to pull all funds out of the country.
Good luck to all merchants of Sunshine.. Sun is setting down soon.. hahaha

Awards for two MLM-linked businessmen under reviewOriginally posted by AlessandroTan:can any1 post the third nov st link on sunshine empire???
Global event's organisers are reconsidering their choice on learning that firm faces investigations
Lorna Tan, Finance Correspondent
November 3, 2007
A DECISION to give business awards to two men linked to a controversial multi-level marketing (MLM) firm is now under review.
The awards are due to be handed out during this month's Global Entrepolis event, a huge international business networking event hosted by Singapore.
The firm in question, Sunshine Empire, has been placed on investor alert lists by the authorities in both Singapore and Malaysia as a result of concerns over its business practices. It is also being investigated by the Commercial Affairs Department.
This has prompted organisers of the Global Business Opportunities Forum, part of Global Entrepolis, to review the decision to grant the awards.
Mr James Phang, the man behind Sunshine, was due to receive an Outstanding & Innovative Global Entrepreneur award on Nov 13.
Mr Phang is the founder and international president of Empire Group Alliance (EGA), of which Sunshine is an associate firm.
Mr Ignious Yong, the managing director of Mr Phang's telecommunications arm Empire Communications, was due to get a Most Potential Enterprise award on the same day.
The MLM firm has attracted the attention of the authorities because its activities appear to be like a pure investment scheme - but it is not licensed for such operations.
Last month, EGA was informed by forum organiser Business Ventures of the award winners.
The Straits Times learned about the awards in a blog posting on the Sunshine website. The announcement was posted on Tuesday under the heading 'EGA Leaders to receive GBO Awards from PM Lee'.
When contacted, Global Business Opportunities' founder Winnie Wang said the organisers have had second thoughts about the winners after reading reports on Sunshine in The Straits Times on Oct 24.
'We are shocked by the newspaper reports on Sunshine and are reviewing the winners of the two awards. We are convening a meeting next week to make a final decision,' she said.
A third award category - the Outstanding & Leading Global Technological Awards - which has four winners this year, is unaffected.
Ms Wang said the awards would be given out by Global Business Opportunities' overseas and local chairmen and not by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, as stated in the Sunshine blog.
According to Ms Wang, Sunshine claimed that the blog was not posted by its management. The blog has since been removed.

CAD should make use of this chance with Sunshine to Clear out ALL MLM from Singapore. Arrest every MLM leaders that scams the public!
Just look around this sad MLM forum, Nearly every thread about nearly every MLM company ends in a "Help, I got scam" or "its looks like scam" call.
MLM itself is a problem. It only serve the interest of a very small minority.
CAD should stop all scams.
First get sunshine, next every MLM in existence.

MLM man linked to abandoned Indonesian club project
1,000 people lost $2m in the project that was called off just before it opened
Straits Times, The (Singapore)
Prime News
November 7, 2007
Author: Lorna Tan, Finance Correspondent
MR JAMES Phang, the man behind controversial multi-level marketing (MLM) firm Sunshine Empire, is linked to a failed investment scheme that resulted in 1,000 Singaporeans losing about $2 million in total.
About six years ago, these investors had paid up to $3,800 each to become members of an Indonesian country club, PT Magic Kingdom Island Resort Paradise.
Mr Phang's firm NOP (Number One Product) was the marketing agent for the club, which was never built.
The resort was to have been developed on a 200-ha piece of land in Rempang, which is linked to Batam by bridge, and promised a hotel, chalets, a golf course and even a 1,000-sq-m shopping mall.
Some investors had paid the club membership fees via monthly instalments of $300.
The resort was set to open in July 2003, but the project was called off in May 2003.
It is believed that the investors never received any refund on their investments.
Mr Phang is adviser to Sunshine and founder of Empire Group Alliance, of which Sunshine is an associate.
Recently, Sunshine made headlines after it was placed on an investor alert list by authorities, both here and in Malaysia, as a result of concerns over its business practices.
In response to queries from The Straits Times, Mr Phang confirmed that NOP was marketing memberships of Magic Kingdom around 2001. He said NOP is now inactive.
Mr Phang said he knows many investors believe he is the 'dishonest businessman' behind the project. But he begged to differ.
'I'm a victim of the failed project too. I was the one who reported to the police when the project was abandoned...I collected over $1 million from investors but I lost more than $6 million. I was in debt because of this project but I've paid up almost all of the debt.'
He said the debt included paying off NOP's tax and banks' credit facilities.
Mr Phang said that his younger brother was the chief executive of the project, but declined to elaborate.
He said he never hid the information that he owns NOP. 'I'm not in the wrong and I'm not scared. I stand upright.'
In a letter in 2004 to the 1,000 investors, PT Magic Kingdom blamed the Sept 11, 2001 terror attacks on the United States, the Bali bombings in 2002, the Iraq war and Sars for the project's failure.
Only $16,931 was left in its coffers, it stated.
When contacted, the Consumers Association of Singapore (Case) said it had received seven complaints on the failed project. In January 2004, Case met NOP representatives, who said they could not refund investors as it had suffered big losses in the project.
Investors were advised by Case to file their claims in Indonesia, where Magic Kingdom was incorporated. Some investors also filed complaints with the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD). The police were unable to respond to queries on its probe into PT Magic Kingdom by press time.
On Oct 24, The Straits Times cited sources as saying that Sunshine was being investigated by the CAD.
Sunshine has attracted the attention of the authorities as its activities appear to be like a pure investment scheme - but it is not licensed for such operations.
Incidentally, Mr Phang has recently claimed that Empire Group Alliance's property arm is involved in building a marine theme park, called The Magic Kingdom, in Malaysia.

'I LOST MONEY TOO'
'I'm not in the wrong and I'm not scared. I stand upright.' MR JAMES PHANG, whose firm NOP (Number One Product) marketed a failed investment scheme that led to 1,000 Singaporeans losing about $2 million in total. He said he lost over $6 million himself because of the project and never hid the information that he owns NOP. -
