MAS unveils changes to senior management team

Edward Robinson and Chia Der Jiun will assume deputy managing director positions.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has announced senior management appointments as part of an ongoing process to strengthen its leadership bench.

Two assistant managing directors have moved up the corporate ladder to take on roles as deputy managing director. These include Edward Robinson who will be appointed as assistant managing director (Economic Policy) in addition to his current designation as chief economist. Similarly, Chia Der Jiun who currently serves as assistant managing director for Corporate, HR and IT services will be named deputy managing director (corporate development).

Three executive directors will then move up to fill the gap left by the vacant assistant managing director positions.

Bernard Wee, currently executive director (Prudential Policy), will be appointed assistant managing director (Finance, Risk & Currency) whilst Benny Chey, currently executive director (Reserve Management), will be appointed assistant managing director (Development & International). These appointments will kick into effect by 1 April 2019.

Lim Tuang Lee, currently executive director (Banking Department I), will be appointed as assistant managing director (Organisation & People Development) where he will oversee the newly created Organisation & People Development Group (OPDG).

The de-facto central bank is also setting up a centralised technology group made up of the data analytics, information technology department and technology and cyber-risk supervision departments. Vincent Loy will serve as assistant managing director (technology) and executive director (information technology) Lawrence Ang will be re-designated as chief information officer.

Jacqueline Loh, currently deputy managing director (Monetary Policy & Investment/ Development & International / Fintech & Innovation), will be re-designated deputy managing director (Markets & Development). Loo Siew Yee, currently assistant managing director (Policy, Risk and Surveillance) will be re-designated assistant managing director (Policy, Payments and Financial Crime), to oversee the Policy, Payments & Financial Crime Group.

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.
