4 arrested over roles in providing modified foodpanda app to facilitate illegal work for foreigners

Four men in Singapore are set to be charged for allegedly modifying the foodpanda app to enable unauthorized foreign workers to perform illegal delivery jobs. The modified app allowed foreigners to bypass real-time verification by uploading photos of legitimate account holders instead of taking selfies. This enabled them to impersonate local users and accept deliveries for pay ranging from $50 to $120 per week. The men will face charges under the Computer Misuse Act and Penal Code, potentially leading to fines up to $50,000 or prison terms of up to 10 years. Authorities emphasized that it is illegal for foreigners to engage in such work or impersonate locals on delivery platforms.
