Genting Malaysia Berhad has announced the retirement of its Non-Independent Non-Executive Director, Teo Eng Siong, effective June 10, 2026.
Teo, 79, officially stepped down from the boardroom following the conclusion of the resort and casino operator’s 46th Annual General Meeting (AGM). His departure marks the conclusion of a 16-year tenure on the Genting Malaysia board.
Teo initially joined the Genting Malaysia board as an Independent Non-Executive Director on February 25, 2010. Following regulatory compliance guidelines regarding independent director term limits, he was later redesignated as a Non-Independent Non-Executive Director on June 1, 2023.
Before stepping into his boardroom role at the public-listed entity, Teo spent years serving at the very apex of the Genting Group’s private holding ecosystem:
He served as the General Manager and Company Secretary of Kien Huat Realty—the primary investment vehicle of the Lim family which holds the controlling stake in the Genting empire—until his corporate retirement on March 31, 2009.
At Yayasan Lim Goh Tong he held the position of Company Secretary for the Lim family’s central charitable foundation, named after the late Genting patriarch Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong.
Teo began his professional career in November 1969 as an accountant with Ernst & Young in Melbourne, Australia, before expanding his corporate portfolio across various financial and management roles in both Singapore and Malaysia.
He holds a Bachelor of Economics degree from Monash University in Melbourne. Highly credentialed within the regional accounting framework, his professional memberships include:
- Associate of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia
- Fellow of CPA Australia
- Member of the Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA)
- Member of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA)
Genting Malaysia expressed its appreciation for Teo’s long-term service and oversight across the group’s corporate history. The company has not yet named an immediate boardroom replacement following the conclusion of the AGM.
