Quah Ley Hoon to step down as MPA chief

She will be replaced by Teo Eng Dih.

Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore's (MPA) Quah Ley Hoon will officially step down from her post as Chief Executive on 5 September, more than three years after she assumed the position.

She took on the role of MPA CE on 1 January 2019.

Quah will be replaced by Teo Eng Dih who currently serves as the Ministry of Defence's (MINDEF) Deputy Secretary for Policy.

Amongst Quah's milestones as MPA chief include the Singapore Shipping Tripartite Alliance Resilience (SG-STAR) Fund (2020), the establishment of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) (2021), and the reclamation project of the Tuas Port Phase 1 (2021).

She was also instrumental in leading efforts such as the Sea-Air-Vaccination Exercise and Sea Crew Vaccination Initiative to safeguard the health of both local maritime personnel as well as crew members onboard ships calling in Singapore.

In 2022, Quah was also awarded the Medal of Commendation by NTUC and Legion d’Honneur by the French Government.

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.
