Quah Ley Hoon to step down as MPA chief

She will be replaced by Teo Eng Dih.

Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore's (MPA) Quah Ley Hoon will officially step down from her post as Chief Executive on 5 September, more than three years after she assumed the position.

She took on the role of MPA CE on 1 January 2019.

Quah will be replaced by Teo Eng Dih who currently serves as the Ministry of Defence's (MINDEF) Deputy Secretary for Policy.

Amongst Quah's milestones as MPA chief include the Singapore Shipping Tripartite Alliance Resilience (SG-STAR) Fund (2020), the establishment of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) (2021), and the reclamation project of the Tuas Port Phase 1 (2021).

She was also instrumental in leading efforts such as the Sea-Air-Vaccination Exercise and Sea Crew Vaccination Initiative to safeguard the health of both local maritime personnel as well as crew members onboard ships calling in Singapore.

In 2022, Quah was also awarded the Medal of Commendation by NTUC and Legion d’Honneur by the French Government.

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.
