Singapore’s central bank, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), said on Tuesday that it had issued a lifetime ban against Ng Chong Hwa, the former managing director of Goldman Sachs (Singapore) embroiled in the 1MDB scandal.

The order follows the conviction of Ng, who is also known as Roger Ng, in the United States for conspiracy to launder money embezzled from the Malaysian state 1Malaysia Development Bhd, or 1MDB, and violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
