He will assume his post on 8 July.

Puah Kok Keong has been appointed as the new chief executive of the Energy Market Authority (EMA), effective 8 July, the Ministry of Trade and Industry announced.

He will replace Ngiam Shih Chun, who will take on the role of deputy secretary (Policy) at the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

Puah has been the deputy secretary (Policy) at MHA since August 2016, where he oversaw policy, planning, international cooperation, research and statistics, legal services, and psychological services. His tenure included significant policy and legislative reviews, including the new Gambling Control Act and the restructuring of the Casino Regulatory Authority into the Gambling Regulatory Authority.

He also led the Home Team Transformation initiative, enhancing operations, capabilities, and community partnerships, and was instrumental in securing Singapore’s membership on the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs. Additionally, Puah rebranded the Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises to Yellow Ribbon Singapore, expanding support for ex-offenders. He also previously worked in MTI’s Energy Division from 2006 to 2008.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
