SINGAPORE: Singapore's police force and central bank are looking into suspected trading irregularities in three companies at the centre of last year's penny-stock crash that led to a sharp fall in trading volume in the city-state's equity market.

Share prices in Blumont Group Ltd, LionGold Corp Ltd and Asiasons Ltd plunged last October, wiping out around S$8bil (US$6.35bil) in market value in just two days after huge run-ups.
