Far East Orchard Limited announced a series of board-level and committee changes that will take effect following the company’s Annual General Meeting on Apr, 17 2026.

Independent Director Ramlee Bin Buang will retire at the close of that AGM, stepping down as Lead Independent Director, Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee (ARC) and member of the Nominating Committee (NC).

Upon his retirement, Chan Hon Chew will become Chair of the ARC, while Ong Yin Suen—subject to her re-election—will join the ARC as a member. The board considers Ong Yin Suen independent under Rule 704(8) of the Singapore Exchange Listing Manual. Ku Xian Hong will be appointed Lead Independent Director.

To streamline oversight functions, the NC and Remuneration Committee (RC) will merge into a single Nominating & Remuneration Committee (NRC) on Apr, 17 2026. The NRC will be chaired by Shailesh Anand Ganu, with Ku Xian Hong and Koh Kah Sek as members.

Following these changes, the board will comprise: Chair Koh Kah Sek (Non-Independent, Non-Executive), Executive Director Alan Tang Yew Kuan, Lead Independent Director Ku Xian Hong, and directors Chan Hon Chew, Ee Choo Lin Diana, Shailesh Anand Ganu and Ong Yin Suen. The ARC will consist of Chair Chan Hon Chew, Ee Choo Lin Diana and Ong Yin Suen, while the NRC will include Chair Shailesh Anand Ganu, Ku Xian Hong and Koh Kah Sek.

The company said the adjustments form part of its ongoing succession-planning and board-renewal efforts.
