The Board's comments on this appointment (including rationale, selection criteria, and the search and nomination process)
The appointment of Mr Ng Yeau Chong ("Mr Ng") as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") is mainly as a result of a Group reorganisation exercise which involves the cessation of Mr Low Jooi Kok ("Mr Low") as CEO and Mr Low's redesignation to an Executive Director. Mr Ng was formerly the Chief Operating Officer of the Company from 2010 to 2015. Mr Ng was the Managing Director of Promoter Hydraulics Pte Ltd and Viking Airtech Pte Ltd between 2010-2012 and 2015-2018 respectively. Mr Ng was appointed to the Board of Directors as an Executive Director on 22 February 2018. Mr Ng is currently the Managing Director of Marshal Systems Private Limited and will continue with the concurrent appointments.

The Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors are of the view that Mr Ng Yeau Chong has demonstrated strong management and commercial capabilities, and is undoubtably able to add value to the Group's businesses and had approved his appointment as CEO.
