Singapore Proposes to Strip Money Launderers of Directorships
Singapore is considering stripping directorships from persons who have been convicted of money-laundering offenses in the city state after a S$3-billion ($2.34 billion) scandal that dented the Southeast Asian country's reputation as a global financial center.
The government is seeking feedback on such a proposal from the public as it contemplates changes to several legislations, including the Companies Act 1967, the Ministry of Finance and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority said in a request for public comments on Monday.
