The Ascendas-Singbridge Group has appointed Ng Kok Siong as Chief Executive Officer of the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (SSGKC), effective 15 October 2015.
Ng, currently Executive Vice President of Singbridge, has over 20 years of real estate experience in investment, development, asset management and real estate consultancy in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in China. He has been actively involved with SSGKC since January 2011, beginning with a two-year posting at SSGKC. Following his return to Singapore at the end of 2012, Ng continued to supervise the growth of SSGKC, culminating in a board appointment in early 2015.
Outgoing Chief Executive Officer of SSGKC Chin Phei Chen has been transitioning the role to Ng in recent months. Chin has completed two and a half years at SSGKC, and will be taking on another senior leadership role within the Temasek group of companies. His last day at SSGKC will be 14 October 2015.
Mrs Nina Yang, Chief Operating Officer of Singbridge, said: "This transition forms part of our ongoing efforts to ensure continual and seamless leadership renewal as our projects develop and move towards maturity. Kok Siong has been involved in the Guangzhou Knowledge City project since its early days, and we are pleased to welcome him back to its executive management team. With insights gained at both management and board levels, he is uniquely positioned to contribute to the success of Guangzhou Knowledge City, and take it to the next level.
"I would also like to thank Mr Chin for his invaluable contributions during his tenure. His unwavering dedication to the project has allowed us to make significant progress in this landmark development that will spur the next generation of growth in Guangzhou."
Chin said: "Now that the project is evolving beyond its initial development phase, the time is ripe for my successor Kok Siong to oversee the establishment of enterprises and highly liveable residential elements. Given Kok Siong’s intimate knowledge of the project, I have no doubt that he will be able to contribute to the future success of SSGKC."
Ng said: "Guangzhou Knowledge City has huge potential, and promises to propel the city to the international stage as a model for vibrant and sustainable economic growth. I look forward to my return to a management role, and to steering the next stages of development and growth."
Under Chin’s leadership, SSGKC is poised to begin the building-up phase. The basic infrastructure has been completed and is largely ready to host further industrial, commercial and residential development in the area. Sixty thousand sq m of office space in the first phase of the Ascendas OneHub project will be ready for occupation at the end of 2015.
