The man, Harvinder Singh, 34, entered the Wanted Persons list on international police organisation Interpol two weeks ago.
He is one of six foreigners wanted by Singapore.
Another is Tunisian national Guiga Lyes Ben Laroussi, the alleged co-leader of a drug ring, who jumped bail after being charged with drug trafficking in 2005.
There are also 14 Singaporeans who have red notices against their names on Interpol's website.
This means that the authorities are seeking their location and arrest "with a view to extradition or similar lawful action" if they are caught.
While nine of the 14 Singaporeans are wanted here for crimes committed locally, the other five are being hunted by nations farther from Singapore's shores.
Clarence Lee Kok Leong, 40, is wanted by Denmark for the misappropriation of funds and fraud; Ow Song Suah, 52, is wanted by the Czech Republic for fraud, and Andrew Ang, 38, is wanted by the United States for wire fraud.
Their whereabouts are currently unknown.
The Singaporeans wanted here include David Rasif, a rogue lawyer who ran off with S$11.3 million of his clients' money in 2006, and Mark Koh Kian Tiong, 35, a former Criminal Investigation Department detective wanted for fraud.
Some, like former bank executive Siak Lai Chun, have been on the list for almost two decades.
Siak allegedly stole S$18.7 million from her bank using fake cashiers' orders, fleeing after her scam was exposed in December 1997.
Singapore has extradition treaties with more than 50 Commonwealth countries.
This means that if a person wanted by Singapore is apprehended or detained in any of those countries, an extradition order can be made to send them back here, and vice versa.
