First S'porean appointed to lead UN geospatial expert committee

Dr Victor Khoo took over the reins of the UN Expert Group on Land Administration and Management in August from founding cochair Kees de Zeeuw of the Netherlands, and will lead the committee with a representative from Chile.

Dr Khoo, 52, director of the Singapore Land Authority's (SLA) survey and geomatics division, will serve in the UN role for three years, the authority said on Tuesday.

The appointment is "an affirmation by the world community of Singapore's expertise and leading position in the field of geospatial information and technology", said SLA chief executive Colin Low.
