US Department Of State Post Report

Many canned, bottled, frozen, and packaged goods are imported, as are most paper products. Shoppers can usually find the desired item or brand or a good substitute, but anything imported is more expensive than local brands. Include favorite brands in your shipment, keeping in mind expiration dates and the expected date of HHE arrival, the intense heat and possibility of insect invasions, and limited storage space in most apartments. Kosher meats are not available in K. L., but can be purchased in Singapore. Most stores stock baby foods, including formula, cereals, and strained foods. These items are more expensive here than in the U.S. Strained baby foods carry freshness dates. Not all brands of American-made formula are available and not all formula containers are dated for freshness, so arrange for shipment of any special brand recommended by a pediatrician. Disposable diapers vary in quality and are more expensive than in the U.S.; if you have a favorite brand, include it with shipm ... [Read More]

M) Money Laundering and Financial Crimes

The following are summaries of the most significant priority issues:Refocus Efforts of High Intensity Financial Crime Areas (HIFCAs). HIFCAs are special, high-risk areas or sectors where law enforcement will concentrate its resources and energy to combat money laundering. The 2001 Strategy mandated that the HIFCA task forces become operational and conduct investigations designed to result in indictments, convictions, and seizures, rather than focus primarily on intelligence gathering. Each of the six HIFCA Task Forces is now actively working cases. HIFCA Task Forces are composed of, and draw upon, all relevant federal, state, and local agencies. The Departments of Treasury and Justice jointly supervise the HIFCA Task Forces, and the 2001 Strategy primarily tasks the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) and Justice’s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section to develop an advanced money laundering training program to enhance the HIFCA Task Forces’ abili ...
