“The re-designations are in line with MGB’s strategic plans,” commented Hock San. “It was a privilege to have served as the group managing director. Nevertheless, I have full confidence that Hock Guan will be able to provide strong leadership and guidance to MGB amid the current pandemic.”

Along with the current management team which has a wealth of experience and talent, Hock San is confident that Hock Guan will be able to spearhead MGB into its next phase of growth.

Hock San was appointed to the board of MGB as a non-independent director and subsequently re-designated as the group managing director on July 5, 2016.
