CapitaLand Residential appoints Wong Heang Fine as CEO

Former SembCorp Engineers and Constructors chief temporarily maintains role of developing business in Gulf region.

CapitaLand Limited on Monday announced that Mr Wong Heang Fine has assumed the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position at CapitaLand Residential Singapore, following the departure of Ms Patricia Chia who is leaving the company to spend time with her family. Mr Wong will concurrently continue in his present role of developing CapitaLand’s business in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, according to a CapitaLand report.

Mr Liew Mun Leong, President & CEO of CapitaLand Group, said: “Patricia has worked with me in various capacities over the years. She joined Pidemco Land in 1996 and, given her excellent execution skills, she has played a key role in establishing CapitaLand Residential Singapore as a leading developer in Singapore today. She has now requested to step down to spend more time with her family and I have acceded to her request. Heang Fine, with his track record in the areas of engineering and construction globally, will bring a new perspective to the Singapore residential business as we enter the next phase of growth. I have full confidence that Heang Fine, supported by a dedicated and experienced Singapore residential team, will lead our present business to even greater heights. On behalf of the Board and Management of CapitaLand, I wish to record our appreciation and thanks for Patricia Chia’s contributions to the Group.”

Mr Wong joined the CapitaLand Group in 2006. Prior to that, he last held the post of President & CEO of SembCorp Engineers and Constructors, the largest engineering and construction company in South East Asia with extensive operations in the United Kingdom, Middle East, India, China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. Mr Wong, who is 52 years of age, holds a Master of Science in Engineering Production & Management from the University of Birmingham, UK and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (First Class Honours) from the University of Leeds, UK.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
