Update 29 /11/2016 - URGENT NEWS: Edward Kang convicted of 21 counts of fraud at Parramatta Local Court, on bail and due to be sentenced on or about 20 March 2017. Apparently fair trading will be publishing something in their website in the next hour or so.
Update: 14/11/2013 - Eddie Kang makes it onto Today Tonight
Update: 14/11/2013 - Meld Magazine reports on Eddie Kang and Singapore Oil
WARNING: The following Singapore Oil advertisement STILL appears on seek: http://www.seek.com.au/job/25305139
None of the Migration Agents listed on the above advertisment (see below for list) have stated on their OMARA profiles that they are linked in any way to Singapore Oil or Borderless Globe:
Mr. David Mendelssohn – Barrister – Federal & High Court Only
Ms. Cyril Gabito – Solicitor – MARN 1383988
Mr. Abu Baquer Siddque – Barrister – MARN 0901413
Mr. Mark Gardiner – Solicitor – (Teddington Legal – Subcontractor)
Mrs. Viji Virassamy - Solicitor
Mr. Michael Poynder – In-House Counsel
Mr. Amy Young – Solicitor
Mr. Jingchun Tang – RMA – MARN 0301491
The advertisment goes on to say 'We have 20 years in experience in industry, and at our office many lawyers and RMAs are working as in-house, salary based mostly. MARN numbers will be given upon request.'
I have checked all these agents out and found their MARNs and none of their MARNs link to this business.

Here is the Google cache live link to the MIA website ad for Eddy Kang's business, Singapore Oil
International Students are allegedly being promised an Australian 457 visa and paying huge sums of money only to discover they have been completely conned.
There are companies that currently have operations in Australia but where the head office and the location of the mother-company is offshore.
Karl Konrad and his business has been contacted for months regarding clients of Singapore Oil Pte Ltd looking for a professional solution to a complex and sad situation where they have paid sums such as $20,000 deposit for a 457 visa.
Migration Alliance has been informed that Migration Agents have also been victims of Mr Kang and used as pawns. If you have been a victim of Mr Kang it is likely you will need proper legal representation. Please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

Wednesday, 23 August 2017Hi ALL
I have been living in Darwin for 4 years now. My family joined me in January 2015. We are on 457 visa.
My employer is not keen on giving me the Employer Sponsorship due to the nature of my work which in on contract basis. So, my wife and I decided that we will use Goldman Pintex services to get my wife a job and an employer that would provide the Employer Sponsorship.
I had goggled about Goldman Pintex but I can't find anything about scam but today when I did another search, I found the story about Eddie (Edward) Kang.
I had already transferred a total of $7,000 to Goldman Pintex bank account as of yesterday.
I am in no capacity to gather the next payment which is $28,000. I need to get a personal loan and sell my fully-paid car but I don't think I can get it by this week.
Then I saw this forum and Goldman Pintex was mentioned.
In fact, prior to me writing this, I'd just got off the phone with two men who refused to answer anything when words like legitimate and genuine were used.
I told him that this involves the lives of my children. I'm doing this for them.
The one on the phone with me kept saying he didn't understand what I was trying to imply and just mentioned that they are only providing services.
Please let my family and I know whether this services that they are offering is genuine, legitimate.. that is, it is not a s(@m.
Should I continue? How can I get back the $7,000 if I wanted to withdraw/cancel the agreement?
Thanking you guys in advance. -

Kieran kelly is a man lawyer who helps Ted E Kang come out from the charges all the time. Kieran kelly knows all the terms of civil law and criminal law. He is doing for the shake of money. Ted E kang is paying him huge money. This is the reason Ted E kang is still doing and ripping off the international student. Whenever ted gets legal problem kieran kelly helps him. Kieran kelly is aslo a criminal and he equally deserves to be in jail.

If what you have said here is true, then Kieran is a very good lawyer, who appeared to has sound knowledge and skills.
All lawyers charge huge money, even if not so good ones.
You can't say a lawyer doing his or her job to defend clients deserve to be in jail.
There are too many 'bad' judges there.
Migration Agent is highly regulated profession, if Eddy Kang is a registered migration agent, he would have been punished a thousand years ago. -

Kieran kelly is just a kang's dog. Ted E kang gives him biscuits and he does work for him. Kieran kelly is the part of their group. I say kieran kelly deserve to go in jail because I know the truth. 100 of victim has not got their money from ted E kang. We cannot be a lawyer to get the money or we don't have to study law as well. We should get justice from the court but here NCAT court, lawyer and Ted E kang are together to run racket buiness.
NCAt judges does exactly the way Ted E kang or his kieran kelly wants....i have many evidence that kieran kelly and NCAT court are equally fraud. Last thing victim has not got their money since 2011. Ted E kang continues his racket because he is feeding his biscuits and he has no fear because NCAT court and some local court like manly local court and some lawyer is with him. -

Hi,
Now the name of the company is Goldman Pintex. It still operates in the address Suite 401, 80 Mount Street, North Sydney 2060.
I have paid $7000 for the registration and they tried to breach the agreement by providing fake documents and nominations from the Department of Immigration. The person who was there is Ted Choi. And his assistant was Bom Choi.
Ted Choi asked me to do the 2nd payment which is $28000 before it’s due date. Fortunately I saw an article on the internet and could save my $28000 although I have lost $7000.
I have lodged a complaint in Fair Trade NSW and waiting for a result now. I’m not sure if I’m gonna get refund, but I’m happy to tell this to the community as this company is totally crazy.
Please don’t pay any money and don’t contact this company for visa procedures.
Thank you.
Kind regards.
Sam.
