Variation of Prohibition Orders against Ms Zheng Xuemei
Singapore, 22 March 2019… The Minister in Charge of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has shortened the duration of the prohibition orders made by MAS against Ms Zheng Xuemei from two years to one year.
2 On 17 May 2018, MAS announced the issuance of prohibition orders against Ms Zheng for a period of two years, with effect from 14 May 2018. The orders prohibit her from performing any regulated activity under the Securities and Futures Act (SFA) and from providing any financial advisory service under the Financial Advisers Act (FAA). She is also prohibited from taking part in the management, acting as a director or becoming a substantial shareholder of any capital market services firm under the SFA and any financial advisory firm under the FAA.
3 MAS had issued the prohibition orders on the grounds that (i) Ms Zheng had not honestly carried out her duties to her client as an appointed representative of a financial institution, and (ii) Ms Zheng’s performance as an appointed representative was unsatisfactory.
4 Ms Zheng subsequently appealed to the Minister against MAS’ decision. Following the hearing by MAS’ independent Appeals Advisory Committee (AAC), the Minister has decided to reduce the length of the prohibition orders.
