PHNOM PENH: A Chinese national who was deported to Cambodia after serving time in a Singaporean prison on money laundering charges – in the largest case in Singapore’s history – has been expelled from the kingdom.

Zhang Ruijin, who holds a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport, entered Cambodia on June 15, after serving several months in jail for forgery and money laundering convictions. He forfeited around S$118 million in assets to the state.
