Keppel Land's leadership shuffle reveals top priorities

Fast-growing Indonesia gets its own country President.

In a release, Keppel Land revealed several appointments that will take effect from 1 January 2013 aimed at strengthening the leadership team in its core growth markets and segments.

Mr Sam Moon Thong, 47, President (Indonesia and Malaysia), will relinquish his Malaysia portfolio to focus on Indonesia, a growth market for Keppel Land, and will be designated as President (Indonesia).

Meanwhile, Singapore operations, comprising both Residential and Commercial, will be consolidated into one unit and headed by Mr Tan Swee Yiow who will assume the position of President (Singapore). To focus on the Singapore market, he will relinquish his overseas portfolio comprising Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Myanmar.

To achieve greater synergy among its hospitality assets across Asia, Keppel Land said it has appointed Mr Khoo Peck Khoon as General Manager of Hospitality Management. He will manage and operate Keppel Land's hospitality assets and projects which include the Sedona hotels and serviced apartments in Myanmar (Yangon and Mandalay), Vietnam (Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City) and Indonesia (Manado); golf courses in China (Kunming, Tianjin and Jiangyin) and Indonesia (Bintan) as well as marinas in Singapore, Indonesia (Batam) and China (Zhongshan).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
