Singapore, 1990 to 2026: the cleanest government in Asia, and a safe place for other people's dirty money. In August 2023 four hundred officers raided the homes of ten Fujian-born men and seized about three billion dollars in cash, condominiums, cars, gold and handbags. The book follows that money from illegal gambling in Manila through private banks, family offices and an auction room, beside Singapore's own cases: a refinery robbed by its staff, an oil legend's hidden losses, a minister's gifts, warnings for bribes paid in Brazil. Covers Su Haijin, Su Wenqiang and the 2023 money-laundering convicts with the banks penalized over them, S. Iswaran and Ong Beng Seng, Lim Oon Kuin and Hin Leong Trading, the Shell Bukom syndicates, Keppel Offshore & Marine, and Dan Tan.
