6.1 A reputation for integrity, both in its business behaviour and in its management systems, is crucial to DUFU’s achievement of its business goals and to the fulfillment of the corporate responsibilities. Therefore, DUFU is committed to the standards of Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2001 (“AMLA”) and requires directors and employees to adhere to these standards to prevent use of the services for money laundering purposes.

6.2 Under the Malaysian anti money-laundering law, money laundering is deemed, inter alia, as ‘an act of a person who engages directly or indirectly in a transaction that involves proceeds of an unlawful activity.’ As defined under section 3 of the AMLA, it is any act which ‘acquires, receives, possesses, disguises, transfers, converts, exchanges or removes from or brings into Malaysia proceeds of any unlawful activity.’ The bottom line is that for a transaction to be deemed money laundering, the money or asset concerned must, first of all, be the subject matter of an unlawful act. Thus, drug money or money derived from crime or criminal acts is caught under the definition. Money gotten pursuant to kidnapping, robbery or extortion, for example, and transmitted in the aftermath is clearly laundered money. Even legal money can become illegal if moving it violates a country’s foreign exchange controls or other financial regulations.
