SINGAPORE: SPH Media Trust chairman Khaw Boon Wan will step down from his role after five years at the helm, SPH Media said in a statement on Thursday (Sep 10).

Mr Khaw, 73, will step down as chairman of SPH Media Trust and SPH Media Holdings.

SPH Media CEO Chan Yeng Kit will take over as chairman, subject to regulatory and formal approvals. Mr Chan was appointed CEO in July 2024.

"Board and leadership renewal is part of good governance practices in any organisation," said SPH Media.

We will provide more updates, if any, in due course." The leadership transition is expected to take effect from Oct 1, The Straits Times reported. Former Cabinet minister Khaw was appointed chairman in May 2021 following the restructuring of Singapore Press Holdings (SPH), which hived off its media operations into a non-profit entity. SPH Media was set up as a company limited by guarantee that owns SPH's news media titles, including The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, Berita Harian and Tamil Murasu. Mr Khaw then said that he accepted the "heavy responsibility" of the chairmanship with "some anxiety" , and that while the role would "disrupt" his retirement, he could not "allow a Singapore institution to go into decline". He had retired from politics ahead of the 2020 General Election. Before that, Mr Khaw was coordinating minister for infrastructure and transport minister, and had entered politics in 2001 after a career in the public service.

新加坡：新加坡报业控股媒体集团（SPH Media）周四（9月10日）发表声明称，SPH媒体信托主席许文远将在执掌该集团五年后卸任。

73岁的许文远先生将卸任新加坡报业控股媒体信托和新加坡报业控股媒体集团主席一职。

新加坡报业控股媒体首席执行官陈永杰先生将接任董事长一职，但需获得监管机构和正式批准。陈先生于2024年7月被任命为首席执行官。

新加坡报业控股媒体表示：“董事会和领导层的更新换代是任何组织良好治理实践的一部分。”

“陈先生将继续履行其现有职责，同时兼任新职责。如有任何最新消息，我们将适时发布。”
