Mr Seah Chin Siong succeeded Mr Koh Choon Hui as chairman, while Ms Tan Khiaw Ngoh took over Professor Ho Lai Yun's role as deputy chairman, the charity said in a statement on May 2.

Mr Seah, who chairs the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre and iShine Cloud, a software charity, was previously co-opted as a board member of the society.

He held leadership roles in the public, private and social sectors—including as president and chief executive officer of the Singapore Institute of Management, CEO of Singapore Pools and founding CEO of IDA International. He also held senior positions at Accenture in the Asia-Pacific region.

In the statement, Mr Seah thanked Mr Koh and Prof Ho for their contributions to the charity that serves children, youth and families.

"Children's Society is where it is today because of Mr Koh's visionary leadership. I've had the privilege of witnessing the extraordinary impact Mr Koh has made, together with Prof Ho, in shaping the society into the trusted and impactful organisation it is today," he said.
