what was the not-too-convincing explanation if i may ask?
He explained that it is very difficult to get a MAS licence for forex investment in Singapore, that is why the invested money is going to a foreign brokerage oversea.
I questioned him that most of the companies on MAS watch list turns out to be real scam, eg, those GOLD guarantee companies, Sunshine Empire etc etc... shouldn't Singliworld clarify properly to get themselves off the list?? Then he showed me the header from MAS below, saying it does not claim that those on the list are scams, just not authorised by MAS... from then onwards, i avoid him like the plague.
Anyway, this will be my last post on this thread on Singliworld... do not want to derail the thread anyworld..
