Deloitte regional chief named new SLA chairman
LAW Minister K. Shanmugam has appointed Deloitte Asia-Pacific chief executive Chaly Mah as the new Singapore Land Authority (SLA) chairman.
Mr Mah, who is also Deloitte Singapore chairman, will take over from outgoing SLA chairman Greg Seow on Aug 1 and serve a two-year term.
Mr Mah will be joined by three new SLA members.
They are: Singapore Police Force chief-of-staff Wong Hong Kuan, senior counsel George Lim from law firm Wee Tay & Lim, and Ms Teo Lay Lim, country managing director of Accenture Singapore.
Mr Seow has been a member of the authority since its formation in 2001. Under his chairmanship, the SLA introduced a number of new initiatives.
One included collaborating with various government agencies such as the National Heritage Board to adapt state properties for use by the arts community.
It has also worked with the Economic Development Board to support its global education hub initiative.
Mr Mah is no stranger to the SLA, having been closely involved with the body since 2007.
INCA Law managing director Latiff Ibrahim, Singapore Airlines senior vice-president Yap Kim Wah and Ms Koh Lin-Net, deputy secretary (trade) at the Trade and Industry Ministry, will be leaving the SLA when their terms end on July 31.
