A Singaporean woman, who is also a former principal of a local tuition centre, has a red alert issued against her for arrest by Interpol for running an elaborate cheating racket.&nbsp;Poh Yuan Nie, 57, was sentenced to four years in prison in 2020 for helping students in their tertiary entrance examinations.&nbsp;She was ordered to surrender in September 2022 to serve her prison term, but she failed to show up. Now, it is believed that she may have fled Singapore, reports BBC.

Subsequently in November, the police issued an arrest warrant for Poh, also known as Pony, and in the following month, they applied for the Interpol "red notice" seeking information on her whereabouts.

A red notice is issued seeking help from law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and arrest a person pending extradition or similar legal action.

According to local media reports, Poh's Zeus Education Centre was tasked with providing tuition to six students – aged 17 to 20 – to help them pass their exams and enter local vocational colleges known as polytechnics.

She was paid 8,000 Singaporean dollars ($6,100) per student, as well as $1,000 Singaporean dollars in admission fees. However, if the students failed, then she was to refund the money.

During the exams, the students, all said to be Chinese nationals, arrived at different venues for their papers wearing skin-coloured in-ear headphones.

Poh and her accomplices taped the phones and Bluetooth devices to their bodies and skilfully concealed them under their clothes.

Another co-accused and her girlfriend Tan Jia Yan, enrolled herself as a private candidate and used FaceTime on her phone to livestream the question papers back to the tuition centre.

Both then worked on the questions and called the students to read the answers to them.

Their plan was uncovered when an invigilator heard unusual electronic transmission sounds and voices coming from one of the students.

Interpol issues red notice against Singaporean teacher accused of cheating scandal

Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine is back on stage, days after reports swirled around an alleged affair and cheating scandal.

On Saturday night, Levine appeared at Shaquille O'Neal's annual fundraising gala, The Event, along with his band. It took place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and was a huge success. Both the singer and his band were greeted with cheers and applause as they reached the location to perform their hit tracks.

This is Levine's first performance since his cheating scandal hit the papers.

While speaking to TMZ, Shaq said that Levine is a great guy and his dear friend. When asked about the cheating scandal, he said, "It is not my job to say, 'You did this. You did that. You shouldn’t have done this. You shouldn’t have done that'. As far as I can say, he’s coming to help kids out this weekend. He’s a good man in my book."

Levine's pregnant wife, supermodel Behati Prinsloo, was also present at the fundraiser. The couple is presenting a united front despite all the cheating rumours that had been doing rounds on social media since last week.&nbsp;

For those unaware, Sumner Stroh posted a video on TikTok last month and claimed that she had an affair with the married musician. Stroh posted a few screenshots of her supposed conversation with Levine, in which he apparently asked her if he could name his third child “Sumner” after her name.

"Ok serious question. I'm having another baby and if it's a boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You ok with that? DEAD serious," read the message in the screenshot.

The whole thing took a scandalous and bizarre turn when more women started to come forward with accusations against the Maroon 5 singer.&nbsp;

On the work front, Levine will kickstart his Las Vegas Residency with his band in March next year.

Adam Levine performs with band Maroon 5 for first time since cheating scandal

Australia opener David Warner is braced for a hostile reception but hopes fans will show "respect" as he and Steve Smith return to South Africa for the first time since the 'Sandpapergate' ball-tampering scandal that rocked world cricket.

Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/david-warner-receives-allan-border-medal-redeems-his-2018-ban-280000" hreflang="en">After ball-tampering ban, David Warner receives Allan Border medal</a>

The last time the pair played in South Africa, almost two years ago, they were sent home in disgrace for attempting to alter the ball with sandpaper during a Cape Town Test. It cost them 12-month suspensions and for Warner, a lifetime leadership ban.

They have since resurrected their careers and are all but forgiven at home, with Warner this week winning a vote by players, officials and media to claim Australian cricket's highest honour, the Allan Border Medal&nbsp;with Smith placed second.

But both players were constantly booed and jeered during last year's one-day World Cup and Ashes series in England, and they are expected to receive similar treatment in South Africa.

&nbsp;

The batsmen are both in the Australian squad for three Twenty20s and three ODIs beginning February 21. Their T20 on February 26 will mark the tourists' first match at Newlands since the 2018 scandal.

"For me personally, it won't be hard at all," Warner told Sydney radio station 2GB this week. "I just go there and I've got a job to do and that's to score runs and win games for Australia and put us in a good position."

But he added that "obviously, it's going to be very hostile".&nbsp;

"I copped it in England; I actually enjoyed that and played along with it.

"Hopefully, we're showed some respect when we go over to Africa and the things that happen in the past stay there."

Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood said he had no concerns about how Warner and Smith would handle their reception.

"Steve and Dave have ticked off pretty much every box since coming back," the seamer told reporters.

"It's just another one of those and I don't think it'll faze them one bit. They probably play better when it's like this. It's nothing we haven't experienced before... we'll be fine."

Australia will be using the tour to fine-tune preparations for the T20 World Cup on home soil in October -- the only major cricketing trophy the men's team has yet to win.

But they will be without explosive batting star Glenn Maxwell, who pulled out this week to have arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow.

Equally dangerous batsman and wrist-spinner D'Arcy Short, who has been overlooked for a year, has replaced him in both formats.&nbsp;

Wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew Wade and all-rounder Mitch Marsh, who last played limited-overs internationals in 2017 and 2018 respectively, returned to the squads, led by Aaron Finch.

"If you look at our squad selections over the last couple of months, it's all been pretty consistent," said Finch.

"There hasn't been a huge amount of risk-taking in our selections, so we've got confidence in the 14 guys in South Africa that potentially they can take us forward to the T20 World Cup."

Australia ODI squad: Aaron Finch (capt), Ashton Agar, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, D'Arcy Short, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.
