Former ST Engineering CEO Tan Pheng Hock dies at 68

The Straits Times

March 07, 2025

Mr Tan Pheng Hock, the former chief executive of ST Engineering, died on March 4 at the age of 68.

The industry veteran, who served as CEO from 2002 to 2016, was instrumental in growing the mainboard-listed group into a global company.

Mr Tan started his career as an engineer in ST Marine in 1981. He rose up the ranks and was appointed president and CEO of ST Engineering in early 2002, against the backdrop of the Sept 11 terrorist attacks in the US that had cast a shadow on the business environment.

During his tenure, the group had to contend with challenges posed by the severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak in 2003 and the global financial crisis in 2008.
