MAS seeks to increase penalties in unauthorised trading case

Fines currently imposed are on the low end of the scale.

A Bloomberg report said the Monetary Authority of Singapore is going to court to seek an increase in penalties handed down to a divorced couple for unauthorised stock trading.

The regulator is challenging sums of as much as $75,000 ($53,660) ordered by a district judge in March, according to its notice of appeal filed in the Singapore High Court. The punishments are at the low end of the $50,000 to $2m MAS can seek under the city’s civil penalty regime.

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.
