MAS bans four individuals for market misconduct

They have also been convicted.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore has issued prohibition orders (POs) against four individuals convicted for market misconduct.

They are Lau Wen Hang, former CGS-CIMB Securities remisier; Yeo An Lun, former Prudential Assurance Singapore representative; Goh Qi Rui Rayson, former OCBC Securities remisier; and Teo Boon Cheang, former KGI Securities remisier. The POs took effect from 1 March.

These individuals are prohibited from providing any financial advisory service, or taking part in the management, acting as a director, or becoming a substantial shareholder of any licensed financial adviser under the Financial Advisers Act.

In addition, Lau, Goh and Teo are not allowed to carry out any regulated activities and to take part in the management, act as a director, or become a substantial shareholder of any capital market services licensee under the Securities and Futures Act (SFA).

The four were amongst the eight individuals charged for offences under the SFA in relation to a scheme to commit false trading in the shares of Catalist-listed Koyo International Limited. They were convicted and sentenced to imprisonment terms of between three months and 20 months 18 weeks.

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.
