Board Refresh Might Change The Case For Investing In ComfortDelGro Stock
- ComfortDelGro has reported board changes, with Deputy Chairman and Independent Non Executive Director Choi Shing Kwok retiring on 31 December 2026 and two new Independent Non Executive Directors, former LTA chief executive Chew Hock Yong and former KPMG Singapore audit partner Ang Fung Fung, joining the board in November 2026.
