s 71 Control of written communication used by insurance intermediary
71.—(1) The Authority may, by written notice, require any insurance intermediary to submit to it any written communication which is for the time being in use by the insurance intermediary for describing the terms or conditions of, or the benefits to be or likely to be derived from, policies. (2) Where the whole or part of any written communication referred to in subsection (1) is not in English, a translation in English must be submitted with the written communication. (3) A requirement made under subsection (1), unless it is otherwise provided therein, applies to all such written communication coming into use after the making of the requirement and before the Authority notifies the insurance intermediary that the requirement is withdrawn. (4) If it appears to the Authority that any such written communication used by an insurance intermediary contravenes any provision of this Part, or is in any respect likely to mislead, the Authority may (after affording the insurance intermediary an opportunity to make representations orally or in writing), by written notice, direct the insurance intermediary to discontinue the use in Singapore of the written communication immediately or from such date as may be specified in the notice. (5) For each occasion on which any insurance intermediary fails to comply with a requirement under subsection (1) or uses any written communication in contravention of subsection (4), the insurance intermediary shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $25,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both.[23/2003] (6) In this section, “written communication” includes any brochure, leaflet, circular or advertising matter, whether in electronic, print or other form.[35T
