Yoma chair Serge Pun steps down

Pun Chi Tung Melvyn takes the helm as chairman and CEO.

Myanmar tycoon Serge Pun has stepped down as executive chairman of Yoma Strategic Holdings Ltd following his reported detention in his home country.

Pun was succeeded by his son, Pun Chi Tung Melvyn as chairman and CEO of the Singapore-listed group starting 24 July, according to a regulatory filing Wednesday.

Earlier this month, Yoma said he was unaware of any investigations launched by Myanmar authorities on the elder Pun and clarified that no charges had been filed against him.

The company also said they could not confirm whether Pun is currently detained or on house arrest.

The younger Pun claimed that his father remains in Nay Pyi Taw at the accommodation provided by authorities and is cooperating with them.

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.
