They will jointly succeed Colin George Harvey, who will resign his role as executive director and CEO due to health conditions. Harvey will however continue to be involved in the company in an advisory and consulting role.
The appointment will take effect from December 1. Besides co-CEO position, Wong Kai Keong has also taken up a role as executive director.
