    MARKET stakeholders welcomed a review of the dual role of Singapore Exchange (SGX) as a regulator and a commercial business, a day after the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said there could be scope to do so.

    "A listed company should not be a regulator," Securities Investors Association of Singapore (SIAS) president David Gerald said, reflecting comments made by others.
