SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Last Tuesday, islandwide anti-money laundering raids saw the police round up a group of foreigners and seize cash and assets that included luxury cars, watches and handbags.

Including 105 properties that were issued with prohibition of disposal orders, the haul was worth more than S$1 billion.
