Thomson Medical group chief steps down

The board said a potential successor has been identified and will be announced soon.

Thomson Medical Group’s (TMG) group chief executive and executive director Dr Wong Chiang Yin has resigned to pursue personal interests, the group announced at the same time it released its half-year financial report.

TMG said it has already identified a potential successor to Dr Wong and will be making an announcement at an appropriate time.

“Dr. Wong has led the team with dedication and a physician’s equanimity in supporting Singapore’s fight against the Covid-19 virus. Through his leadership, Thomson Medical has managed to grow its market share in obstetrics in Singapore and developed new services. He deserves a well-earned break and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours,” TMG Chairman Ng Ser Miang said.

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.
