In theory yes, in practice not so.
Would you put money long term under another person's name knowing it circumvents the law and will get messy if something happens?
Return of money is always more important than return on money
There will always be that 10% trying to beat the law. Point is to have the law enforceable such that the other 90% will not be enticed.

Information not generally not available is not the only criteria. The information must be material and price-sensitive.
The article below gives better understanding of insider trading law.
The Court gives guidance to what comprise of insider trading. If not, the statute does have a very broad definition.
Good article.

no la. See MAS website. Enforcements quite regular. SFA enforcements take a long time to investigate.

The most simple answer should be the answer:
1. She declared her transaction as part of AR.
2. SGX conduct routine screening/pattern marching
3. Result of the march - Positive

BTW, declaring a transaction does not make it OK. If you use material, non-public and price-sensitive info, you will still get it.

Ms Phua make a mistake.
When there is a mistake, let there be truth.
