Singtel ( (SG:Z74) ) has issued an update.

NCS has announced a leadership transition with Chief Executive Officer Ng Kuo Pin set to step down on 1 April 2026 after seven years at the helm, to be succeeded by Deputy CEO and head of its Government Strategic Business Group, Sam Liew, who has been appointed CEO-designate. Under Ng’s tenure, NCS transformed into a fast-growing regional tech and digital services player, doubling revenue from S$1.8 billion to S$3 billion, broadening its geographical footprint and capabilities, and becoming a key growth engine for the Singtel Group. The handover, to be managed over a three-month transition period, is positioned as a continuation of this trajectory, with NCS’s board and Singtel’s leadership signalling confidence that Liew will build on Ng’s legacy and sharpen the company’s focus on AI-driven innovation and public sector digitalisation across Asia Pacific.
