Victim of an investment scam

Dear Mr. Tan,
If an ordinary person is the victim of an investment scam, and the police refuses to investigate the scam, what can the victim do? If the victim complained about the scam and is being sued for defamation by a big legal firm, who is to protect the victim?

REPLY
This is certainly a sad state of affairs. When a victim is cheated and is bullied in this manner, we are in an unjust society.

It is the duty of the state to protect is citizens from unfair treatment by powerful business interest. Perhaps you can see your member of parliament on this matter?
