The Singapore Civil Penalty Regime
Singapore | Leading financial centre in Asia
The Singapore Civil Penalty Regime
A civil penalty action is not a criminal action and does not attract criminal sanctions. The civil penalty regime, designed to complement criminal sanctions and provide a nuanced approach to combat market misconduct, became operational in 2004.Under section 232(1) of the SFA, whenever it appears that any person has contravened any provision in Part 12 of the SFA, MAS may, with the consent of the Public Prosecutor, enter into an agreement with any person for that person to pay, with or without admission of liability, a civil penalty. The civil penalty shall not exceed the greater of the following:
three times the amount of the profit gained or loss avoided by that person, or
$2 million, subject to a minimum of $100,000 (if the person is a corporation) or $50,000 (if the person is not a corporation).
False Trading under section 197(1)(b) of the SFA
Section 197(1)(b) of the SFA prohibits the creating or doing of anything that is intended to create a false or misleading appearance with respect to the market for, or the price of, securities.
MAS five-year and four-year POs against Ms Ngin and Mr Yeo respectively, prohibiting them from:
(a) performing any regulated activity or from taking part in the management of, acting as a director of, or becoming a substantial shareholder of a holder of any capital markets services firm under the SFA; and
(b) providing any financial advisory service or taking part in the management of, acting as a director of, or becoming a substantial shareholder of any financial advisory firm under the Financial Advisers Act.
The ban (Prohibition Orders) took effect on 25th April 2022.
[1] Mr Wiluan was convicted for 3 charges of section 197(1)(b) of the SFA and sentenced to a fine of $480,000 on 19 May 2021, with the remaining 3 similar charges taken into consideration for the purpose of sentencing.
