The Board's comments on this appointment (including rationale, selection criteria, and the search and nomination process)
The audit and risk committee of the Trustee-Manager (the Audit and Risk Committee ) is of the opinion, after considering, inter alia, Ms Ong Lay Hua's more than 20 years of finance, accounting, audit, tax structuring and financial reporting experience, and her prior appointments as Senior Director, Group Finance in Fortis Healthcare Global Pte Ltd, Director of Finance in Hyflux Ltd and Regional Senior Operations Analyst, Asia Pacific in United Technologies Corporation (Singapore), that Ms Ong Lay Hua is suitable to perform her role as the Chief Financial Officer of the Trustee-Manager. After making all reasonable enquiries, and to the best of their knowledge and belief, nothing has come to the attention of the Audit and Risk Committee to cause them to believe that Ms Ong Lay Hua does not have the competence, character and integrity expected of a Chief Financial Officer of the Trustee-Manager of a listed business trust.
Whether appointment is executive, and if so, the area of responsibility
The appointment is an executive appointment. Ms Ong will be assisting the Chief Executive Officer in overseeing the financial, accounting, capital management and risk management strategies of PCRT.
