Keong Hong names Heng Fook Chang as new CFO

The firm booked a wider loss of $9.5m in 1H24.

Keong Hong Holdings has appointed Heng Fook Chang as its new Chief Financial officer starting 8 July.

In a bourse filing Tuesday, Keong Hong said the 53-year-old executive will be overseeing all financial, accounting and corporate secretarial matters of the group.

The firm believes Heng “has the requisite experience and capabilities to assume the duties and responsibilities” as the company’s CFO.

His appointment was made after reviewing his qualifications and considering the recommendation of the Nominating Committee.

Prior to his new role, Heng was previously the group financial controller of Boldtek Holdings for two years since May 2022, and served as a chief financial officer of Compact Metal Industries from 2012 through 2018.

Keong Hong, a Singapore-based investment holding firm primarily involved in building construction services, property, and hotel investments, saw its losses widen to $9.5m in 1H24 from $4.4m in 1H23.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
