MAS slaps former Goldman Sachs managing director with lifetime prohibition orders

Roger Ng was involved in the 1MDB financial scandal.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has banned Ng Chong Hwa, also known as Roger Ng, from performing any regulated activity under the Securities and Futures Act (SFA) and from providing any financial advisory services under the Financial Advisers Act (FAA) for life.

Ng has also been barred from “taking part in the management, acting as a director, or becoming a substantial shareholder, of any capital market and financial advisory services firm under the SFA and FAA.”

MAS issued lifetime prohibition orders (POs) against Ng following his conviction in the United States “for conspiracy to launder monies embezzled from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and violation of the United States’ Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).”

Ng, who was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment, conspired with others to launder billions of dollars misappropriated from 1MDB, “including funds raised by 1MDB through three bond offering transactions underwritten by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates,” according to MAS.

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.
