List of major crimes in Singapore (2010–2019)
Wikimedia list article
The following is a list of major crimes in Singapore that happened between 2010 and 2019. They are arranged in chronological order.
2010
14 February 2010: Lee Heng Wong allegedly murdered Xi Wei Feng, a bouncer in De Basement Live Disco in Geylang Road, in which he fled afterwards. Lee would not be captured until 12 years later as a fugitive; he surrendered to the Malaysian police on October 11, 2022. He was taken back to Singapore two days later and arrested the same day. On October 18, 2024, Lee was sentenced to 16 years' imprisonment by the High Court after he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of culpable homicide, following further investigations and assessment.
29 May 2010: Four Malaysians committed a series of armed robberies which resulted in three injuries and one death. The robbers, Tony Anak Imba, Hairee Landak and Michael Garing, were arrested after the crime, while Donny Meluda who fled to Malaysia afterwards, was later arrested in 2017. Garing and Tony were found guilty on murder with the former receiving a death penalty and the latter receiving life imprisonment and 24 strokes of the cane; Garing unsuccessfully appealed against their sentencing and the Court of Appeal upheld their verdict. Garing was hanged on 22 March 2019 following another unsuccessful clemency appeal from then-President Halimah Yacob.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6626866. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2019, 2022 and 2024.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
