There shall be established an Authority to be called “the Monetary Authority of Singapore” which shall be a body corporate and shall have perpetual succession and may sue and be sued in its own name.

The Authority shall have a common seal and such seal may, from time to time, be broken, changed, altered and made anew as to the Authority seems fit, and, until a seal is provided under this section, a stamp bearing the inscription “The Monetary Authority of Singapore” may be used as the common seal.

(3)

All deeds, documents and other instruments requiring the seal of the Authority shall be sealed with the common seal of the Authority by the authority of the Authority in the presence of the managing director and of some other person duly authorised by the Authority to act in that behalf and shall be signed by the managing director and by such duly authorised person, and such signing shall be sufficient evidence that the common seal of the Authority has been duly and properly affixed and that the said seal is the lawful common seal of the Authority.

(4)

The Authority may by resolution or otherwise appoint an officer of the Authority or any other agent either generally or in a particular case to execute or sign on behalf of the Authority any agreement or other instrument not under seal in relation to any matter coming within the powers of the Authority.
