WELL, now other sources have confirmed my guess from 2.5 years ago.

As part of a deal to secure a cheap water price deal and the High Speed Rail contract with Malaysia's former Prime Minister Najib Razak, Singapore's dictator Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong instructed the Monetary Authority of Singapore and several state banks to overlook the numerous transactions related to 1MDB.
According to a source working with state bank DBS, the suspicious transactions were duly reported to the management but anti-money laundering responses by the "higher management" were withheld. The source believed that his superiors were instructed not to take actions and let the matter tagged on "pending" status for years.
Totalling more than S$3 billion, Malaysia state funds 1MDB were laundered in Singapore in numerous transactions between 2011 and 2013. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) were acutely aware, from as early as 2011 August. No investigations were however lodged, except that an official "reminder" were issued to several Singapore banks.
Nobody knows who instructed MAS and the state banks to overlook the "dubious transactions", but the highest authority in Singapore is none other than Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong himself.
