The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) is getting a new chief executive in June.
Ang Wee Keong, the assistant chief executive (international) of the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), has been named chief executive-designate from May 1 to June 15.
He will relinquish his current position at IMDA and take over from Teo Eng Dih, who will take on the role of deputy secretary (special duties) at the Ministry of Transport.
Ang heads international strategy, engagement and collaboration at IMDA, overseeing multilateral negotiations and bilateral partnerships in the digital domain.
He managed the expansion of Singapore’s digital economy alliances, as well as regional engagement through platforms such as the Asean Digital Ministers’ Meeting, the Forum of Small States, and Asia Tech x Singapore.
He also oversaw the development of forward-thinking laws and regulations to support the expansion of Singapore’s digital economy, including the future Digital Infrastructure Act.
Ang will also become a member of the MPA board, replacing Teo.
MPA last had a change at the top in September 2022, when Teo succeeded Quah Ley Hoon, who headed up the driving force behind Singapore’s maritime and port development for nearly four years.
