Oral reply to Parliamentary Question on public access to financial information of investment scheme promoters
Why this matters
This is an oral parliamentary reply by a government minister addressing questions about consumer access to promoter financial information and scam prevention tools. The response clarifies that ScamShield is not designed for investment due diligence, directs consumers to existing public registers (Bizfile, Insolvency Office), and reiterates the requirement to deal only with MAS-licensed entities. The content is informational and restates existing policy rather than announcing new rules, enforcement actions, or significant regulatory changes. It has routine significance as a clarification of established consumer protection guidance.
