3 senior execs sacked in December
The change in personnel comes just over one month after SingPost sacked three senior executives who were found “grossly negligent” in handling an internal investigation prompted by a whistleblower’s report.
Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Vincent Phang, Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Vincent Yik and Chief Executive of the International Business Unit Li Yu were dismissed on 21 Dec.
The trio are currently contesting their terminations.
On 22 Jan, SingPost appointed a new group CFO, Mr Isaac Mah. He was previously CFO of Freight Management Holdings, SingPost’s Australia business.
Mr Shahrin’s resignation is not linked to the trio’s sacking, The Straits Times understands.
