Professor Tan: “Serving as the first chairman of Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) has been an honour. From its inception nine years ago, SGX RegCo is today seen as a trusted independent regulator, driving governance improvements and greater investor participation. We have learnt a lot together over these years and have, I feel, etched a path towards more market discipline, board renewal and diversity. I am confident Cheng Chih, with his deep understanding of financial markets, will lead SGX RegCo in making further inroads as a market regulator and developer.”
Dr Sung: “To chair the board of SGX RegCo is a unique opportunity. This is a company whose policies and actions are closely intertwined with the reputation of, and confidence in, Singapore’s capital markets. The team here has contributed much to the Equities Market Review Group (EMRG) under Cheng Han’s leadership. These are big shoes to fill, and I will do my best to steer RegCo as it implements the EMRG’s recommendations aimed at further enhancing and developing our marketplace.”
