Resignation of RADM Lui Tuck Yew as HDB Chief Executive Officer

RADM Lui Tuck Yew resigned as HDB's Chief Executive Officer with effect from 11 Apr 06.

2 He joined the Housing and Development Board (HDB) as Chief Executive Officer in June 2005. He steered HDB through significant changes that consolidated its housing authority role and key mission to provide quality and affordable public housing to Singaporeans.

3 Some of the key initiatives that RADM Lui was involved in during his stint at HDB included the pilot Design, Build and Sell Scheme, an innovative approach to building HDB flats to meet customers’ aspirations for choice and variety, as well as the speeding up of the Government’s Lift Upgrading Programme. During Mr Lui's tenure, HDB also reviewed a number of major housing policies, such as the review of housing options for the elderly and the lower income families.

4 Mr Mah Bow Tan, Minister for National Development, said "Even though Tuck Yew was with HDB for only a short time, he made a significant difference to this important organization. On behalf of all staff of MND and HDB, I would like to express my appreciation to Tuck Yew for his inspiring leadership that has put HDB on course to meet the challenges ahead. I wish him all the best in his future career."
