Not sure about B, but it feels like it should be included.

Wait, sharing info with PDPC? That’s surprising!

I feel like option B is the odd one out here, but I might be mixing it up with another regulation.

Conducting regular reviews sounds familiar, but I can't recall if sharing personal info is really a requirement.

I remember a practice question that mentioned monitoring transactions, so I feel like that's definitely part of the requirements.

I think the MAS requirements definitely include knowing customers, but I'm not sure about sharing info with the PDPC.

I remember covering the MAS AML/CFT requirements in my studies, so I think I have a good handle on this. I'll carefully consider each option and eliminate the ones that are clearly included in the requirements.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The question is asking which control is NOT included in the MAS requirements. Identifying and knowing customers, conducting regular reviews, and monitoring/reporting suspicious transactions are all typical AML/CFT controls, so I'll need to focus on the option that doesn't fit.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options all seem related to AML/CFT, so I'll need to carefully read through each one to determine which is not a requirement.

This seems like a straightforward question about AML/CFT requirements in Singapore. I'll focus on identifying the control that is not included in the MAS requirements.

The PDPC? What is this, a crossover episode? B is clearly the odd one out, unless the MAS has a secret love for data protection authorities. I'll stick with the classic AML/CFT controls, thank you very much.

Bingo, B is the answer. The MAS cares about knowing your customers, monitoring transactions, and reporting suspicious activity - not about sharing data with other agencies. Gotta keep that customer info under lock and key!

Hah, B is obviously the wrong answer here. The MAS would never ask institutions to share personal info with the PDPC for AML/CFT. They're more interested in the customers themselves, not the regulators!

B is the odd one out for sure. I can't imagine the MAS would require financial institutions to share customer data with the PDPC as part of their AML/CFT measures. Seems like a bit of a trick question.

Ah, question B definitely seems out of place. Sharing personal information with the PDPC doesn't sound like an AML/CFT requirement. The other options all seem relevant to me.

I disagree. I believe the answer is C) Conducting regular reviews of customer accounts because it is not specifically mentioned in the requirements by MAS.
