Shahrin Abdol Salam will be succeeded by his predecessor who had rejoined as COO
The chief executive for Singapore Post's local operations, Mr Shahrin Abdol Salam, has resigned, SingPost said in a statement on Feb 3. The Straits Times broke the news of the resignation earlier in the day. Mr Shahrin spent less than a year in the role before his departure.
He joined SingPost as its Singapore CEO on May 1, 2024, taking over from Ms Neo Su Yin, who had left the firm to join dnata as managing director for Singapore. Mr Shahrin was responsible for the company's domestic mail and parcel business.
Ms Neo, who recently rejoined SingPost as group chief operating officer following the termination of the services of its top executives, will assume additional responsibility as Singapore CEO following Mr Shahrin's departure.
A SingPost spokesman said to ST that Mr Shahrin resigned "to pursue opportunities outside the company", and that a transition timeline is being worked out with Ms Neo.
"Su Yin is familiar with the Singapore business unit, having run the business from November 2021 till May 2024," she added.
