MAS bans four individuals for fraud

They will also serve separate prison sentences.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has issued prohibition orders (POs) against two former bank employees and two former insurance agents for fraud and dishonest conduct.

Former Barclays representative Kale Jagdish Purushottam was slapped with a 25-year PO whilst former DBS and Standard Chartered representative Liaw Tick Kwan was handed a 10-year ban. Ex-Manulife agents Mike Chew Jun Yong and Priscilla Tien Ling were each handed out six-year bans.

POs were issued after the four were convicted by the State Court of Singapore. Court cases involving Chew and Tien were related, whilst the others were unrelated. Purushottam was sentenced to 13 years in prison, Liaw will serve 46 months in prison, Tien will be imprisoned for eight months, and Chew will serve six.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
