During his tenure, CMT optimised its portfolio with the acquisition of Bedok Mall and opportunistic divestments of Rivervale Mall and Westgate Tower where CMT recorded gains, creating value for unitholders.

Mr Wilson Tan, CEO of CMTML, said, “On behalf of the Board members and management, I wish to express our deepest appreciation to Mr Teoh for his strong leadership during his three-year tenure, including ensuring that our corporate governance is of the highest standards. Under his stewardship, CMT grew our total deposited property size from S$9.6 billion to S$11.0 billion. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
“I am pleased to welcome Mr Magnus as Chairman of the Board, and Mr Lang as a NonExecutive Non-Independent Director. Mr Magnus has served as a Non-Executive Independent Director since May 2010 and as such, already has deep knowledge of CMT. We look forward to his leadership and guidance in steering CMT through these uncertain times to a new position of strength. We also look forward to Mr Lang’s contributions in further improving our corporate governance and financial strength.”
