Chinese Rogue Executives Dodge Singapore Law by Staying Home

Singapore investors are demanding tougher rules to prosecute executives of China-based companies traded in the city-state after scandals from New York to Hong Kong have wiped out the market value of such firms.

U.S. and Hong Kong regulators have been ramping up Chinese company probes as Muddy Waters LLC said last month that Sino-Forest Corp. overstated its timber holdings, erasing as much as 82 percent of the China-based tree plantation owner’s market capitalization in Toronto.
