Chaly Mah appointed as chairman of Surbana Jurong Group

Mah will take over from the founding chairman, who retired in September, 2020.

Surbana Jurong Group has announced the appointment of Chaly Mah Chee Kheong (pictured), as its chairman, with effect from 1 January 2021.

Mah succeeds Liew Mun Leong, Surbana Jurong’s founding chairman, who retired in September of 2020. The appointment follows the Board’s approval of a recommendation by the company’s Executive Resource & Compensation Committee.

Tan Gee Paw, one of the Board’s longest serving directors, said Mah would bring a comprehensive set of skills and wide-ranging experience to the role. “The Board was pleased that Chaly agreed to join us and serve as Chairman, because we see his experience and vision as critical to continuing the journey that Surbana Jurong started under Liew Mun Leong’s leadership," he said. "Chaly’s leadership credentials and his desire to see Surbana
Jurong continue its growth journey, delivering sustainable social and economic impact for our clients, appeal to us all.”

Mah himself said he was deeply honoured to be appointed to the Group's chair. "Five years after its formation, Surbana Jurong
Group continues to fulfil its essential purpose of building cities and shaping lives. It has grown from strength to strength, expanding its influence and presence globally," he said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
