    Default any law that prohibits insider info?

    E.g., people working in depts that deals with mrt station location, possible bus stops or bus routes, or urnan planning plan etc, got law prevent them and their family members from profiteering from such advance info? Does it work?

    I think by right, they are supposed to maintain confidentiality. But if they tell their relatives n no one lodges a complaint vs them, nothing will happen. If their relatives tell other people, other people may not believe them cos there is no proof.

    I think they are very serious about the confidentiality. Recently met one of my ex-neighbours and asked her about her son. She said she only knows that her son work for one of the ministers, need to follow the minister around, other than that, she knows nothing.

    Not only government sector, or -linked.

    Very senior executives of some companies in private sector are also regularly 'surveyed'. The french is known doing so.

    Not only executives are 'surveyed', sometime a company's product also security-checked. The recent case is Huawai.
