Singapore is new Revolving Fund Committee chair

It was handed over from Malaysia.

The chairmanship of the Revolving Fund Committee (RFC) has been handed over to Singapore from Malaysia.

The RFC was established in February 1981 through a memorandum of understanding signed by Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Malacca Strait Council (MSC). It was intended to address oil pollution in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore.

"As world trade continues to expand and shipping traffic increases, the responsibility of maintaining safety and preserving the marine environment in the Straits will grow in tandem,” Teo Eng Dih, Chief Executive, Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), said.

“The Revolving Fund is a good example of cooperation between the littoral States and the users of the Straits to safeguard the marine environment."

Under the MoU, the countries are expected to manage the Fund on a rotational basis for a period of five years each. Singapore’s chairmanship will end in March 2027.

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.
