Khaw Boon Wan to step down as SPH Media Trust chairman, to be succeeded by Chan Yeng Kit

Khaw Boon Wan is set to step down as chairman of the SPH Media Trust, according to reporting on the change in leadership.

Multiple outlets describe the move as part of an ongoing leadership renewal at SPH Media. Under Khaw’s tenure, the company improves its digital reach and is credited with winning international awards. The reporting also notes that SPH Media is in a period of transition as it prepares for new leadership.

Channel NewsAsia adds that Khaw will be succeeded by SPH Media CEO Chan Yeng Kit. Other coverage focuses more on Khaw’s contributions during his time as chairman, including initiatives tied to digital performance and recognition for the organisation’s work. Together, the accounts present a consistent picture of a planned succession and a broader organisational renewal rather than an abrupt departure.
