SGX RegCo names Dr. Sung Cheng Chih chairman

Dr Sung pledges strong leadership to steer SGX RegCo.

Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) appointed Dr. Sung Cheng Chih as non-executive and independent chairman with effect from 1 January 2026, replacing Professor Tan Cheng Han.

Dr. Sung has been on the RegCo board since 1 January 2025 and previously served at GIC, where he was last Chief Risk Officer in 2011. He later co-founded Avanda Investment Management, a Singapore-based global asset manager, and retired in 2021.

Professor Tan, who served nearly nine years on the board, is Chief Strategy Officer at the NUS Faculty of Law and a former Dean, while also serving as a Senior Consultant at Wong Partnership LLC.

“I am confident Cheng Chih, with his deep understanding of financial markets, will lead SGX RegCo in making further inroads as a market regulator and developer,” said Professor Tan in a press release.

“The team here has contributed much to the Equities Market Review Group (EMRG) under Cheng Han’s leadership. These are big shoes to fill, and I will do my best to steer RegCo as it implements the EMRG’s recommendations aimed at further enhancing and developing our marketplace,” said Dr. Sung.

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.
