Frencken refreshes board with new lead independent director and governance reshuffle

Frencken Group Limited ( (SG:E28) ) has issued an update.

Frencken Group Limited has overhauled its board structure following the retirement of long-serving independent director Melvin Chan Wai Leong, who stepped down after completing a nine-year tenure and relinquished his roles as lead independent director, audit committee chair and nominating committee member. The board appointed existing independent director Dato’ Noorashidah Binti Ahmad as the new lead independent director, signalling continuity in independent oversight.

In a further refresh of its governance framework, Frencken named Tay Peng Huat as an independent director effective 8 May 2026, concurrently installing him as chairman of the nominating committee and a member of the audit committee, where independence is key under Singapore’s listing rules. The company also reconstituted its board committees, redistributing chair and member roles across the audit, remuneration and nominating committees, a move that underscores its focus on board renewal, regulatory compliance and strengthened corporate governance for stakeholders.
