Money laundering events in Singapore up 79% in 2023: Moody’s​

There’s an increasing risk of these in the Republic’s financial sector, says the credit ratings agency

MONEY laundering events in Singapore rose 79 per cent in 2023 from 2022, according to data from credit ratings agency Moody’s.

Singapore may be susceptible to increased money laundering risks, with its open economy and high volume of international transactions, said Chua Choon Hong, senior director and head of the financial crime practice group for Asia-Pacific and the Middle East at Moody’s.

He noted an increasing risk of money laundering in the Republic’s financial sector, despite the country’s strong compliance reputation, as highlighted in the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s money laundering national risk assessment.


This suggests a potential complacency among financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions, Chua said.

“While increased regulatory scrutiny may lead to higher compliance costs, it is essential for fostering trust in the integrity of the economy, promoting trade and transactions in the region, as well as mitigating the impact of financial crime.”

Moody’s database noted a steady increase in money laundering events across the Asia-Pacific region from 2018 to 2023.

Ever since the casinos opened, Singapore has been built on laundered money.
And everybody pretends not to see the elephant in the room.

The minister noted that the ideology of IS continues to resonate in the region, including in Singapore.​

Singapore's security is closely tied with that of Malaysia's, and due to our proximity, what happens in Malaysia will have an impact on Singapore's security landscape, Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said on Jun. 28.

The minister was speaking at a doorstop pertaining to the recent incident in Malaysia, which involved the arrest of eight people on Jun. 22 and 23 on suspicion of links to terror groups Daesh and the Islamic State (IS).

The Malaysian government also identified possible threats against the Malaysia Agong (king), Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Singapore works closely with Malaysia and shares intelligence​

Shanmugam added that currently, more than 460,000 travellers cross the border between Singapore and Malaysia daily.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has been a fierce critic of Israel over its war against Hamas.

Now he’s resisting pressure from his own critics to nix a multi-billion dollar Malaysian airports privatization deal involving BlackRock Inc. over its ties to Israel.
Anwar told parliament this week that it was “not realistic” to cut ties with any company for links to Israel.

Then he sought to reassure US investors that his government had no issue with BlackRock, which bought Global Infrastructure Partners — a member of the consortium taking over Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd — for 12.3 billion ringgit ($2.6 billion).

Singapore looking forward to strengthening links with Malaysia over next 100 years: PM Wong​

businesstimes.com.sg52 minutes ago

Singapore is looking forward to “more win-win projects” with Malaysia, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in a Facebook post on the 100th anniversary of the Johor-Singapore Causeway on Friday (June 28).


Both countries are currently working on projects in areas such as health, education, culture and trade, as well as emerging areas like the digital economy and renewable energy, he added.

“For the past 100 years, this has served as a link between our two peoples,” PM Wong wrote. “I look forward to strengthening the links and our relationship for the next 100 years.”

Officially opened on June 28, 1924, the Causeway is now one of the busiest border crossings in the world, with an estimated 300,000 people using this connection daily.

In 1976, it was widened from three lanes to six.

To celebrate the Causeway turning 100 years old, Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan attended a celebration ceremony held at the midpoint of the Causeway on the morning of June 28.

JOHOR BAHRU/SINGAPORE: The Johor-Singapore Causeway has been a big part of Mdm Samsiah Isnin’s life.
The 73-year-old Singaporean lives in a Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat at Marsiling Lane and her block faces the 1.05 kilometre-long bridge which connects Singapore and Johor Bahru.

“The Causeway is always crowded, morning or night. People going to work, or travelling for leisure … the bridge never sleeps,” said Mdm Samsiah.

Besides the Causeway being a key physical landmark close to where she lives, it also serves as a connector for her to be close with her family on the other side of the border.
The housewife travels across the Causeway frequently with her husband to visit her siblings who live in Batu Pahat, a town in southern Johor located about a two-hour drive away from the land checkpoint.
“We will go and see them twice or thrice a month. We go often because my siblings are there, and when we meet them we are happy. We chat, have meals together and stay overnight at their place … Travelling across the Causeway allows us to enjoy this.
“I’ve been using the Causeway from when I was 19 years old until I’m 73 today. The Causeway (in essence) has not changed much, it is always jammed and the fact that it's crowded shows how important it is to all of us - Singaporeans and Malaysians,” said Mdm Samsiah.

She will be moving soon to Choa Chu Kang after the Singapore authorities acquired blocks in her neighbourhood as part of plans to redevelop and extend the existing Woodlands Checkpoint.

On Friday (Jun 28), the Causeway celebrates its centennial anniversary, having served as a connector across the Johor Straits for 100 years.
Today it has become one of busiest land crossings in the world, with an estimated 300,000 commuters passing through daily. And this figure is expected to grow with Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority projecting traffic volume at the Causeway to increase by 40 per cent by 2050.
Frequent commuters, like Mdm Samsiah, have paid tribute to how the Causeway has played a pivotal role in their lives.
Additionally, in spite of congestion issues and plans to offer travellers more alternative modes of travel, many believe that the Causeway will continue to be relevant for commuters on both sides of the border.

SINGAPORE: To get to her office in Singapore on time, admin exec Gunavathi Chinasamy has to be at Johor Bahru Customs at least two hours before 10am.

And after the 29-year-old knocks off at 6pm, she reaches her Malaysian home at around 10pm.

This has been the JB native's daily routine for nearly a decade now. Yet she would not have it any other way.

Ms Gunavathi, who works at an employment agency, currently earns between S$2,500 and S$2,800 (US$1,837 to US$2,058) a month. At interviews for similar roles in Malaysia, she was offered around RM3,000 (US$628).
"If I’ll be paid (more) for the same amount of energy and effort that I put into work just by crossing a country two hours earlier, I think I would take that option," she told CNA.
