From CNA:
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on Wednesday said investors who have bought failed structured products will know the outcome of their complaints by the middle of January.
The central bank has been working with financial institutions in the past 10 weeks.
The central bank also said investors should be prepared to bear responsibility for their investment decisions.

Many questions remains unaddressed in this report: the number of investors who have been informed by the FIs of their decisions, the number of investors who have received compensation and the number of ?clear-cut? cases who have been informed of the outcome.

Always remember pappy already casted decision in stone way before TKL took to the stage. Whether "decision" has been properly discussed behind closed door is left for everyone here to guess. Looking at Upper Serangoon garden and Town Council fiasco are enough to judge how pappy operate towards the citizens.
