New CEO at Tote Board from Oct 1 to take over from Tan Choon Shian
Current Land Transport Authority deputy chief executive Mark Tan to take over.
On October 1st, the Singapore Totalisator Board (Tote Board) will be led by its new CEO, Mark Tan Kiak Yang. Mark Tan, currently the deputy CEO for corporate and development at the Land Transport Authority (LTA), replaces Tan Choon Shian who has served as CEO since July 2023. Tan Choon Shian will assume the role of senior adviser to the Tote Board.
The Tote Board oversees Singapore Pools and Singapore Turf Club, and redistributes gaming revenue to support social projects. Tan Choon Shian, 60, oversaw the closure and transition of Singapore Turf Club, ensuring an orderly process while preserving the club's heritage and planning its redevelopment in Kranji. During his tenure, Tan Choon Shian championed a more collaborative approach to tackling social challenges, funding initiatives in mental health, disability inclusion, healthy ageing, and community well-being.
Mildred Tan, the chairwoman of the Tote Board, expressed gratitude to Choon Shian for his leadership, and praised his approach to creating lasting social impact. With Mark Tan's extensive public service experience, the new CEO is well-positioned to lead the Tote Board in building a better future for Singapore.
