Developer Keppel Land has named Choo Chiau Beng as its new chairman.
Mr Choo, a director of Keppel Land since 1985, will take over from Lim Chee Onn as chairman from May 1.
Paying tribute to Mr Lim, Keppel Land says the company has grown from a local property player to one of Asia’s premier property developers under his leadership.
Mr Lim had been a director of Keppel Land (then Straits Steamship Co Ltd) since 1983 and was appointed managing director in 1986.
He became deputy chairman in January 1994 and chairman in 1997.
Earlier this January, Mr Choo also succeeded Mr Lim as Keppel Corporation’s chief executive officer.
