Mr Chew Wee Seong (“Mr Chew”) was appointed Deputy Chief Executive Officer on 3 August 2023, following a successful tenure as Chief Operating Officer (COO). With almost three decades of experience in banking, finance, property development, and corporate management, he plays a pivotal role in driving the Group’s strategic direction and operational excellence. Additionally, he serves as a member of the Board of MGB International for Industry, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MGB Construction Sdn Bhd, incorporated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In his current capacity, Mr Chew oversees the Group’s corporate functions, including Accounts, Accounts Payable, Legal, Treasury, Secretarial and Corporate Affairs, Corporate Control, Risk and Sustainability Management, and Property Management. His expertise in financial governance, risk mitigation, and corporate strategy ensures the Group’s sustained growth and resilience in an evolving business landscape.
Mr Chew holds a Bachelor of Finance from St. Cloud State University, United States, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with Merit from Cardiff Metropolitan University, United Kingdom. He is also a licensed professional property manager, registered with the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers (BOVAEP), authorising him to practise under the Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers Act 1981 (Act 242).
Before joining the Group, Mr Chew held a key leadership role as Head of the Credit Administration Department at a leading local bank, where he honed his expertise in credit processing, financial management, risk control, and consumer banking operations. With over five years of experience in the banking and finance sector, he gained in-depth knowledge of credit assessment, marketing strategies, and financial planning, equipping him with a solid foundation in corporate finance and risk management.
In August 2000, Mr Chew transitioned into the property development sector by joining LBS Bina Group Berhad (“LBGB”), where he gained extensive experience across customer service, maintenance, sales and marketing, credit administration, and property management. His hands-on involvement in these areas provided him with comprehensive insights into property development operations, reinforcing his ability to drive large-scale projects efficiently.
Between August 2014 and November 2016, Mr Chew served as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company, where he played a transformative role in reshaping its corporate trajectory. Under his leadership, the Company successfully navigated a financial turnaround, transitioning from a loss-making entity to a profitable organisation. Notably, he was instrumental in steering the Company out of the PN17 classification, a testament to his strategic acumen and leadership capabilities. Following his tenure as CEO, he was re-designated as COO until August 2023, during which he continued to strengthen the Group’s operational foundation before assuming his current role as Deputy CEO.
