The delicate balance between robust investor protection and the efficient regulation of the securities market was the focal point of a distinguished panel discussion at a recent fire-side conference. This event, held on March 14, 2025, was a collaborative effort between the Securities Investors Association (Singapore), the Singapore University of Social Sciences, and the Singapore Institute of Technology.

As a participant in the panel, I engaged with a diverse audience that included key market regulators, esteemed members of the Singapore media, seasoned financial market professionals, and informed investors. Our collective expertise was directed towards addressing the complex challenge of optimizing investor protection without excessively regulating the securities market.

Our comprehensive dialogue was captured in a detailed report by Ms. Ranamita Chakraborty, who quoted myself and fellow panelists. This report was published in the Business Times on March 15, 2025, and can be accessed here.

I extend my gratitude to all the attendees for their insightful contributions and to Ms. Chakraborty for her meticulous documentation of our discussion. This event underscored the importance of continuous dialogue and adjustment in regulatory frameworks to ensure they serve the best interests of the market and its participants.
