(Jan 18): Singapore says it’s getting more serious about tackling white-collar crime. The police force’s financial crime-fighting unit — the Commercial Affairs Department — has declared a goal to target ill-gotten gains “more proactively”, especially those from overseas. The crackdown follows several high-profile cases, notably an investigation into links between financiers in the city state and the troubled Malaysian state fund known as 1MDB. At stake is the Southeast Asian nation’s reputation as a safe — and responsible — hub for finance and business.
