We take this seriously: MAS on OCBC’s disruption of services

The Monetary Authority of Singapore will determine the appropriate regulatory action upon assessment of the investigation’s outcome.

A statement by the regulator said, “MAS has informed OCBC Bank's senior management that we take a serious view of the wide disruption of the bank's services on Tuesday 13 September 2011.”

OCBC has explained the technical cause of the incident to the public, and the actions it had taken to prevent future recurrence from similar causes, according to MAS’ statement.

“MAS notes OCBC's explanation for the failure and will review its investigation report on the incident. MAS will also assess the outcome of this investigation before determining the appropriate regulatory action to take,” said MAS in its statement.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
