Far East Hospitality has announced the retirement of its Managing Director, Mr. Arthur Kiong for 31 December 2025. Mr. Kiong, previously Chief Executive Officer, will hand over the role of Managing Director to its Deputy Managing Director, Mr. Mark Rohner and assume the role of Consultant from 1 January to 30 April 2026. These changes are part of Far East Orchard's strategic succession planning for sustainable long-term growth.
As part of an alignment of titles across Far East Orchard on 1st September 2025, Mr. Kiong and Mr. Rohner were redesignated from Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer to Managing Director and Deputy Managing Director respectively, with the same roles and responsibilities.
