SGX RegCo names Dr. Sung Cheng Chih chairman

Dr Sung pledges strong leadership to steer SGX RegCo.

Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) appointed Dr. Sung Cheng Chih as non-executive and independent chairman with effect from 1 January 2026, replacing Professor Tan Cheng Han.

Dr. Sung has been on the RegCo board since 1 January 2025 and previously served at GIC, where he was last Chief Risk Officer in 2011. He later co-founded Avanda Investment Management, a Singapore-based global asset manager, and retired in 2021.

Professor Tan, who served nearly nine years on the board, is Chief Strategy Officer at the NUS Faculty of Law and a former Dean, while also serving as a Senior Consultant at Wong Partnership LLC.

“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,” said Professor Tan in a press release.

“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,” said Dr. Sung.

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.
