By Cheryl Lim
CAPITALAND Residential chief executive Wong Heang Fine is the new president of the Real Estate Developers' Association of Singapore (Redas).
The 52-year-old took over from SC Global Developments chairman and chief executive Simon Cheong, 53, yesterday.
Mr Wong is in charge of developing CapitaLand's business in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, which comprises Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Before joining CapitaLand, he was president and chief executive of Sembcorp Engineers and Constructors, and chief executive of Cathay Organisation Holdings.
He has also held several senior appointments at the Singapore Technologies Industrial Corporation and the Economic Development Board.
Mr Wong has a Master of Science in engineering production and management from Birmingham University, and a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from Leeds University.
Mr Cheong led Redas for the maximum two consecutive two-year terms. He will now serve on the new management committee.
The new committee includes Frasers Centrepoint chief executive Lim Ee Seng, who will be first vice-president, and City Developments group general manager Chia Ngiang Hong, who will be second vice-president.
Members of the Redas management committee were elected at an annual general meeting last week, but the make-up of the executive committee was finalised at a meeting only yesterday afternoon.
The committees comprise members from key property developers of Singapore.
The association represents all bodies concerning the planning, organisation, promotion, development, financing and administration of businesses in real estate and public utilities.
