MAS reprimands Acesynergy Brokers’ CEO for regulatory breaches

The central bank found weaknesses in its management oversight, amongst others.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has reprimanded Tan Chuan Lam, the CEO and a director of the formerly registered insurance broker Acesynergy Brokers (ABPL) for alleged breaches committed under the Insurance Act. 

MAS had cancelled Acesynergy Brokers' insurance broker registration on 24 July 2024.

Authorities found significant weaknesses in its management oversight, and accounting and compliance processes, which resulted in ABPL’s breaches of MAS’ regulatory requirements and registration conditions. 

ABPL also reportedly failed to comply with MAS’ written directions to remediate inspection findings and appoint an independent external person to review its remediation measures. 

MAS found that Tan was aware of ABPL’s breaches. 

Despite MAS’ repeated engagements with him, he failed to take adequate measures to prevent ABPL from committing the breaches, the central bank added.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
