Debated in Parliament on 25 Feb 2026.
Mr Alex Yeo asked the Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs (a) what is the implementation status of the step-up measures that Carousell committed to by 31 January 2026 under the E-Commerce Code of the Online Criminal Harms Act 2023, given the increasing misuse of SingPass-verified Carousell accounts for e-commerce scams; and (b) whether the Ministry intends to implement any further measures to protect consumers from similar e-commerce scams.
The Ministry of Home Affairs is assessing the effectiveness of the measures implemented by Carousell in preventing the misuse of SingPass-verified accounts and will provide an update when ready. We continue to monitor the scam situation on Carousell closely and will consider further measures if necessary.
