Singapore has extradition treaty with many countries but seldom bothers to follow up. If they were keen they would have a website listing the photos and details of all those who have absconded. The belief is that there people close to the powers if brought back may say more things than good.
His family, friends or his partners must be behind this. Sometimes if you want to give up, the preference is thru extradition rather than waive the extradition process so that you might end with punishment that is less harsh.
For instance, for murder, if extradition is followed, you cannot be hanged if you return from most western countries but if you waive the extradition process, you can be hanged.
For lesser cases, you might want to build this impression that justice cannot be done in Singapore so you go thru the wayang process of extradition but you have actually run out of money, the hunger pangs for laksa and still look good in the eyes of your believers.
