And why is that? Both MAS and SEC have the same definition of pump-and-dump.
I reckon both of us have similar view. MAS/SGX should continue to ensure fairness by minimizing "pump and dump" scheme, more so with the recent empowerment to MAS.
The only difference, probably is the definition of "pump and dump". No verdict required here, both view can co-exist, and readers will make his/her judgement call.

Thats right. Readers have to DYODD.
Its hard to point at something as a case of "pump and dump". Whats more important is readers have to always look back and understand what they are into. Forum moderators (like yourself) can do only this much. Really appreciate cos you guys kept the discussions very constructive and informative.
The wonderful (and not so wonderful) thing about the internet is freedom of speech. For the better and for the worse too.
But, what I think the forum has done well is that there are often varying views. To some extent, it helps better with decision making. Knowing both sides of the coin makes it easier to decide, than using just one side.
Keep it up!
The thing I am scared most is not nightmares or market crashes..... Its my greed that I fear the most.
When people ask what is my target price, I never have any good answer for it because Philip Fisher said before (in Common Stock Uncommon Profit) that the best time to sell is never. Equity investment is buying into ownership, not betting slips.
The path to greatness and wealth is necessarily dangerous.... because greed is a fearsome fore that threatens your success at every step.

It is very easy to pump... all you need is some broking accounts with trading limits + some money.
It is difficult to dump... coz the qn is , dump to who?
The syndicate need to build up a following amongst the trading public first. This is easy when the mkt goes hysteria. Any small rumour or stock tip and traders will chase.
