BANK Negara Malaysia (BNM) fined its licensees nearly RM70 million (S$23.7 million) for regulatory breaches last year, with the RM54 million imposed on Ambank for non-compliance with anti-money laundering laws making up the bulk of that.
The fines were more than 13 times the RM5.3 million imposed the year before, with the central bank having stepped up its enforcement action to defend the integrity of the financial system.
