This week, the Singapore Police Force arrested a group of foreigners who had amassed approximately S$1 billion worth of assets in the country, as part of one of the largest anti-money laundering operations ever. The arrests took place across multiple affluent neighbourhoods in Singapore, and the catalogue of the items seized was jaw-dropping. Why did we feel a little worried by this turn of events? In other news, Leong Mun Wai has filed a formal complaint against Murali Pillai to the Speaker of Parliament over their exchange at the last parliamentary session.

This past weekend, the Elections Department said that rallies are “not encouraged” for the Presidential Election as they may be divisive and incongruent with the unifying role of Singapore's head of state. This decision hasn’t been well-received, but is there any merit to these directives? Elsewhere, it was revealed in a survey that the Singaporean Premier League was the 3rd-most popular football competition after the EPL and the Champions League.

This week, OCBC introduced a new anti-scam measure which prevents customers from using their mobile banking app if there are unofficial apps installed on their Android phones.

Recently, American publication Washington Post accused Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao of deferring to “Beijing narratives”. This prompted a rebuke from the Chinese newspaper, and now Singapore’s ambassador to the US has also spoken out against it. Is our local newspaper really taking sides in the US-China divide? Elsewhere, HDB’s approval will no longer be required for CCTVs that face corridors of HDB flats.
