Re-build the trust in the integrity and reputation of Singapore

I call on the banks and stockborking firms who are involved in selling the credit-linked notes in Singapore and Hong Kong to offer the same compensation to investors in Singapore that they offer to those in Hong Kong. The compensation is 60% to 70% of the invested sum, and any excess, if the proceeds on maturity exceed the amount of the compensation.

Do act early, to protect your repuation. Equally importantly, your action will rebuild the trust in the integrity and reputation of the the financial system in Singapore in providing honest dealing and fair treatment of customers. This will enhance the role of Singapore as a trusted financial hub of the region.
